After waking up at the InterContinental and having breakfast, we went to Ueno Park where we visited temples and shrines and enjoyed the park. After, we went over to Asakusa where we walked around the area and Senso-ji before having kaiten sushi, a matcha snack, as well as Ichiran ramen. We returned to Senso-ji to see it at night before heading back to Shinagawa.

Later on in the afternoon, we visited the Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Regional Park in Leesburg for the first time.
