Iriya Morning Glory Festival and Shitamachi Tanabata

Today, Laurel and I met up to go see the Iriya Asagao(Morning Glory) Matsuri in Ueno. There were sooooo many people.

Dozens of food stalls and vendors selling asagao plants.

Okinawa Doughnuts! thanks laurel!


broiling Ayu......looks so good.

Thousands of morning glories were being sold by very touchy/enthusiastic vendors.

laurel was tempted to buy one....





Takoyaki.

Jumbo takoyaki with squail eggs inside...yum.

Baby watermelons.

We walked through the Shitamachi Tanabata streamers after and ended up in Asakusa. These streamers went on FOREVER.



It was nice being in the old quiet part of tokyo.
