On the way home from China I managed a 3 day layover in Tokyo. Stayed in Asakusa which is pretty close to Ueno Park. This post is just some photo's around Ueno Park and the Ueno Green Club. It was a Sunday when I visited and no shows were going on at the Green Club but there was a small sales area.

A few shots from Ueno Park:

last few....there was actually just one guy selling the day I went.

There were quite a few Suiseki and tools/pots for sale also. The pricing was really an eye opener, many of the small trees were around $10-$50 depending on trunk size. The small Chojubai with red flowers was $12 whereas these are selling in the $150+ range in the US. Shame I couldn't bring any back:(

Wow, really!?!? ... I was looking at them and saying those are really cheap! They are probably worth 4x here based on what I see.

This is very cheap at Y28,000 or around $280 IMHO (based on local prices here). If you say it can be had for $70 I'd be buying like a stampeding bull (if I can)! :p
