08.15.2009 Acekay and Yuka picked us up in their band's van and showed us Old Tokyo - Ueno, Asakusa and Ginza. Today marked the 64th anniversary of Japan's surrender in WWII. There was a lot of activity around Yasukuni Shrine. The Uyoku dantai - Japanese nationalist right-wing groups- flooded the streets in their black propaganda vans, which are fitted with loudspeakers and decorated with the flag of Japan and Japanese military flag. So, instead of visiting Yasukuni Shrine, we headed to Uneo Hill, where we spent most of the day. The park has a number of museums, galleries and a zoo.
