上野 Ueno

One of the places I hang out the most is Ueno. There is a park, a zoo, some museums, and lots of places to eat and hang out. It's pretty close (20 minutes by train) to where I live. I wouldn't say
I love Ueno, but I certainly am getting used to it. Here are a couple pictures taken from the park.



There is a museum of Western Art here with a lot of famous works such as the ladies in the boat, and the thinker. No pictures are allowed inside, so I just shot the copies outside. The actual thinker is quite small, which surprised me. This is an enlarged copy.

Have you been to that one museum that has the old buildings and stuff in it? It's fun to climb around and take pictures!! Plus the people who work there are super nice.

several of those look like the statues in the garden at Stanford. Wonder if they're both copies of the some works.

Anonymous.. could you be a little more specific? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

thepeat.. I'm sure they are. But I think they currently reside in this museum (at least the thinker does).
