Tokyo Ueno Station

I really enjoyed this book with its simplified yet informative history on certain events, places, statues etc in Tokyo especially, and obviously, in Ueno Park. All the history explained in this novel in some way relates to the population of homeless people in the Ueno Park and also the personal life of Kazu. Along with the informative part of this book, I found the writing very beautiful and it felt like hearing personal stories from that of a grandparent. Overall I think this is a great read for people interested in a more realistic view of Tokyo or Japan in general :)
