Snow scene

I went to Nagano pref. on 24th November.

I was planning to work at my mother's field.

However, it was too heavy snow to work.

I could take these photos.

Tokyo is a wonderland.

I'm riding on a train on the way to the center Today

 to watch some historical monuments.

I think the center Tokyo(especially around

the emperor palace) is one of the most

enjoyable places in the world.

It's because there are a incredible

number of historical and/or

geometrical interesting things.

In addition, the place is alive.

This area is changing rapidly and

dramatically to take place

the Olympic games in 2020.

I'd like to show this place

on this blog or another ways.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Ueda 2

After visiting Ueda, We stayed in a hotel.

We went to Ueda city, Nagano prefecture.

Ueda city has a Ruins of a castle.

The Japanese TV station (NHK) broadcasts a

popular historical drama.

My daughter likes to watch it, so

she asked me to go to the place where the castle was

existed a couples hundred years ago.  

I went to my daughter's art exhibition.

My daughter's school holds an art exhibition.

We visited the school last weekend.

There are many beautiful works. I enjoyed to watch them.   

The Ueno Park 2

I introduce some photos taken around the Ueno park.

The Yushima subway station is located to visit
the shinobazu-no-ike ｐond.

The shinobazu-no-ike pond has some boats.

Maybe, these balloons would be used as lighting apparatus
in the night.  

There were many street performers there.
He is one of the performers.

Inside of a traditional Japanese liquor shop.
This shop is a replica of the shop at old days.

We visited the Ueno Toshogu shirine.
The building  is covered with real gold leaves.
It was so beautiful.
