Tips from the community
There is no shortage of activities to enjoy in Ueno Park, massive internationally famed galleries, gorgeous nature, ancient architecture, and picturesque views. Just off of Ameyokocho, a bustling route full of tasty street vendors and souvenir shops, Ueno Park is also home to the famous panda- basically the mascot of the entire neighborhood. Visit the panda at the famous Ueno Park Zoo, it might be a little wait- but this is an essential Tokyo experience.
