Today I went to the Ueno area first, hoping to go to the National Museum: however I forgot it was closed on Mondays, so I had to go to the National Science Museum instead. It turned out that it wasn&rsquo;t a bad choice after all, as the museum is rich with exhibits and has a very good presentation.</p> <p>After that we moved to the Toshogu Shrine in Ueno Park, a shrine that was dedicated to the <em>shogun</em> Ieyasu Tokugawa. It&rsquo;s not an &ldquo;active&rdquo; shrine anymore, but you can visit it for 200 yen. As the heat was killling us, we went back to Tokyo Station for lunch.</p>
