Tokyo, day 1

Our ryokan in Tokyo was in a quiet little street not far from Ueno park. As we arrived in the early afternoon after many hours without sleep, the main goal was to stay awake until the evening...
We visited a nearby shrine...

We took a big walk in Ueno park...
Then we had tempura, vegetables, miso soup and rice for supper (and a "biru" for DH)
Then, off to bed (or rather to futon, as we had booked a Japanese-style room).

Looks like you stayed in a lovely area, and your meal looks wonderful.
Very good for you I would imagine.
How was the futon?
