Overview
Ueno is a major Tokyo hub that blends convenience with culture. Just steps from the station, Ueno Park is one of the city’s top spots for cherry blossoms each spring. Inside the park, you’ll find peaceful paths, historic shrines, and attractions like the Ueno Zoo, famous for its pandas and a hit with families.
Art and history lovers can explore several top museums, including the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Nature and Science, and the nostalgic Shitamachi Museum, which brings old Tokyo to life.
For food and shopping, stroll over to Ameya-Yokocho, a lively market street filled with dried seafood, sweets, souvenirs, and mouthwatering street food.
Feeling hungry? Ueno is home to historic yoshoku restaurants—serving Japan’s version of Western-style comfort food for generations. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a juicy hamburger steak or creamy croquettes with rice.
