Mori Ogai's house in Ueno

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.
