Originally wanted to wake up real early (like 6am) to go to Ueno Park, but somehow I overslept so ended up taking the train during rush hour in Tokyo.
Let me say this, it was a BAD IDEA.
Trains were so packed and since I had a somewhat large shoulder bag for my DSLR, so when I alighted the train at Ueno, my body was already out of the train, but my bag was somewhat still stuck amongst the human jam in the train. Luckily eventually I was able to pull my bag out, but I think I used way too much force when I pulled, so I nearly fell.
After this day, I planned my morning train journeys to absolutely avoid rush hour. Either taking the train before 7am or after 9am when heading from suburbs direction towards Tokyo city area.
Anyway, it was about 0830hr when I arrived at Ueno Park. Hoping to avoid the crowds, but there's already quite a number of people already walking along this Sakura path.

After Ueno Park, I headed for Shibamata. I first got to know of Shibamata when I read Danny Choo's blog when I was trying to search for lesser known towns in Tokyo.
