		The Yamanote line which marks an unofficial boundary of 'central Tokyo' is deceptive when you consider that some of the places it passes through are residential, barely deserving a mention, while others are basically cities in their own right.
		One more feature of Ueno Park that deserves a mention is the statue of Saigo Takamori who was the general who led the armies of the Meiji Restoration and still a revered figure despite or perhaps because of the fact that he later led a rebellion against the establishment he had fought to install.
		It was the former Tokyo residence of the Maeda family, lords of Kanazawa, and the well known Aka-mon (red gate) is a relic from the time before the family were forced to 'donate' their property.
