More pictures of Ueno Kouen. There is a zoo there which features pandas (giant and red), tigers, gorillas, and a white rhino. I didn't enter, but am excited to visit with future guests! My picture is just of the entrance, mainly taken as a cultural note to see all the touring school children lining up with color coordinated caps.
The other two pictures contain a short American history lesson: did you know that U. S. Grant visited Japan after his presidency? Neither did I! Again, read the picture of the accompanying sign. I have a picture of the memorial, but exactly which trees Grant and his wife planted (explained in the sign), was very difficult to determine!
