Last full day in Tokyo

Today I went to Ueno Park. It is very similiar to New York City Park in size however it has everything you can image in or around it. An amuzement park, a zoo, several museums and many shrines.
The most important thing that I saw was the statue of Takamori Saigo which was a sameri and his dog which is an Akita dog from up in the north part of Japan.
