Tokyo Day 4: Tokyo National Museum, Yanaka Cemetery, Shogun Graves, Gift from Taiwan, and Beast found Pepsi






After the Rodin statue garden, we headed to the Tokyo National Museum - the oldest and largest museum in Japan... we couldn't take photos inside of course, but we will never forget all that we were able to see... including: Ukiyo-e, 17-18th century kimono, Noh-masks and costumes, samurai swords, samurai armor (very awesome), screen art, and artwork from the dawn of Japanese art (3000BC-8th century)...

Next we headed to the last of the Kanei-ji remains where the graves of 6 Tokugawa shogun are located and then on to Yanaka Cemetery (where the grave of the last shogun is located)...

We then headed back towards Ueno station to head back towards Hanzomon...

In the park we also found a very pretty gift given to Japan from Taiwan and the Beast finally found her Pepsi in a vending machine...
