After shop at Asakusa Donki, soon everyone gathered at the bus stop for our next destination, because the public transport is very punctual in Japan, so we have to be on time. Exactly the bus reached 5 min earlier at the bus stop, once we got on board, and soon it had departed.
This was a free shuttle bus, mainly was to circulate around the Asakusa tourist spot and served as the connection between Ueno Park. Now we were relieved at least we can rest for a while, and also happy that we can enjoyed this free shuttle bus, so no need walk to the train station, narrow and steep staircase, and the bus fare in Japan is very expensive too.
After a short route around Asakusa tourists spot, soon the bus was heading to the main road, not too far away we had reached Ueno Park. The park was crowded with people, there were trees and greenery along the path. Actually it is a famous spot to view Sakura during Spring season. So, we found a seat to enjoy our snacks and the view without sakura. Lol!!
Looked around, the park area rather big and there were few spots for visiting too. My parent could not walk far, so they just visited the museum and outside the zoo, and we went to look around. There we came to Ueno Toshogu Shrine, the name sounds very interesting, so went to take a look, it is actually a golden historic shrine.

There are many Toshogu Shrine in Japan, it is mainly a shrine to worship the famous Tokugawa Shogun who unites the Japan in whole. This shrine is very old and soon after our visit, we headed to meet up with others and walk to Ueno station going back to Nakano.
We decided to have our dinner at the Italian restaurant at OIOI Nakano. After dinner we walked the back alley, we saw there were a drunk man and woman, shouting along the street, and even crossed the road in such unstable condition, even we were so terrified with this dangerous act. OMG!
Since it was still early when we reached home, we let the kids to play the fire crackers, it was a present from Obachan for the kids. It was quite interesting, stated 3D fire cracker. Haha.. soon our neighbour told us need to soak it in the water after done, because we were staying at the wooden house. We appreciated their advise and sharing.
