- Nature & History - Stroll through Ueno Park and discover many historic spots including the Ueno Toshogu Shrine and a view of the Five-Story Pagoda. Ueno Zoo is Japan's oldest, don't miss the giant pandas, polar bears, Japanese monkeys, and the Shoebills (motionless birds).

Takeya Okachimachi Main Store, is the most popular discount store with locals. Nikinokashi Ameyoko, has over 5,000 types of Japanese sweets, snacks, and seasonings. A Japanese IZAKAYA is where you can enjoy small foods and alcohol together, for some of the best visit one under the rail tracks between JR Ueno and Okachimachi stations.
