WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

On this tour you will explore two of Tokyo's finest attractions: Ueno Park and Tokyo National Museum. 

Ueno 
The first half of this tour will take place in Ueno, one of the key districts in Tokyo's historical shitamachi, or downtown area.

Our guide will first take you around the urban areas of the Ueno, including the famous Ameya Yokocho, commonly known as Ameyoko. Ameyoko is a former black market street that is now well-known for its top quality bargains and even better candy. Here you can find genuine design goods at incredibly low prices, as well as some of the best and sweet sweet stores in Tokyo. Famous also for its quality street food, it is also a great place to grab a snack to go. 

After Ameyoko, you will then take a short walk to beautiful Ueno Park, Japan's most popular park - and also one of the oldest. The former site of one of Tokyo's most important temples, here you can explore a number of historic temples and shrines, including a 400 year-old five-storied pagoda that sits in the grounds, as well as discover peaceful lakes and grassland areas. 

As you walk, our guide will tell us you all about the park's unusual journey from favorite temple of Japan's most powerful shogunate to the number one place for Tokyoites to relax. 

Tokyo National Museum

Tokyo National Museum is not only Japan's oldest national museum and its largest art museum, it is also the most popular museum, with over 2 million visitors annually. An art museum, it houses over 110,000 artifacts and pieces of art, most from Japan and areas along the Silk Road.
