After our very satisfying breakfast we jumped on the train to Ueno and a stroll through the park surrounding the Tokyo National Museum before spending a couple of hours exploring the two floors of Japanese treasures and some old Japanese buildings behind the main museum building. It was all very tranquil and the limited English signage gave us some clues as to the history of Japanese culture.
We felt a bit foot sore from all the walking over the last few days so we had a nap in the afternoon before heading into Shinjuku for more bright lights and a simple meal in a cafe. $10 buys soup, small salad and a crumbed pork cutlet with Japanese curry and rice so you really can eat well for very modest cost.
