Tokyo: Ueno and Ryokugo

Our last full day in Tokyo we visited the National Science museum in Ueno with our friend, Rieko.




For lunch, we visited Ryokugo (Sumo Village). I was hoping to go inside the sumo stadium, but it was closed in preparation for an upcoming match. We had plans to visit Asakusa afterwards, but sadly, the weather didn't permit us. We had a traditional sumo meal of chanko nabe, a hearty stew of meat, chicken, seafood, tofu, and vegetables served with rice, pickels, more tofu, and salad. It was delicious!!
