Mori Ogai wrote The Dancing Girl and many other very well known novels in the 19th century. After his marriage, he lived in this house in Ueno, where it's now a very nice Kyoto kaiseki restaurant and has the only natural hotspring in Tokyo (I need to look up the definition of natural hotspring, as there are at least a few others in Tokyo that I've been to!). It was a very peaceful afternoon with mom and dad.
The kaiseki course was an array of really nice, very gentle Kyoto type dishes. I particularly liked the yuzu lime mochi dessert at the end. The sake was nice too.
