Ueno Walking Tour

Tokyo offers many activities and sightseeing spots. You have to be precise to enjoy the maximum of your time.  That was my plan when my friend came to visit.

I choose to visit area by area so that I wouldn’t lose much time on trains or so.
This is for Ueno area.

We started from 9.30 am. At Ueno Station, Ueno park exit.

Ueno station is a very central place that you can easily access from many lines.

Such as Yamanote line, Ginza line, Keihin Tohoku line, Tohoku line and even Shinkansen(the famous fast bullet train)….

 The program is simple:

9.30 Ueno Zoo

   Pandas are waiting to salute you.

 Every adult enjoys the diversity of animals and also there is a special area for kids to feed some animals.  

For lunch, I would suggest you to buy a bento box and eat it in Ueno Park with a peaceful view.

Afternoon is for Tokyo National Museum.

 It is such a profound museum that you can observe Japanese History and culture with many unique items. And, the museum shop offers many things that you can buy as a gift for yourself or others.

The museum is closed at 5 pm which is perfect timing to walk around Ueno Koen and Toshogu Shrine…

Around dinner time I think you will feel a little tired but happy. It is an all-day plan full of Japan and I guarantee that it will be remarkable.  You could always continue the fun after the night falls…

Cheers,
