Overview

Akihabara and Ueno, which are popular with tourists, are very unique areas with completely different atmospheres and characteristics, even though they are adjacent to each other. Akihabara is famous as the mecca of Japanese subculture, including manga, anime, and video games. It is also widely known as Japan's number one electronics town. Ueno, on the other hand, has a strong image of nature and culture today, with its Ueno Zoological Gardens, National Museum, but historically, it was a place with very close ties to the Tokugawa family. It is also a lively town of common people where the atmosphere of those days remains, such as the shopping streets derived from the postwar black market. Let's go on a walk around Akihabara and Ueno that can be enjoyed by both adults and children! [Visit Spots] ・Akihabara Electric Town ・Don Quijote ・Manseibashi Bridge ・The old Manseibashi station ・Kanda Myojin Shrine ・Ameyoko Shopping Street ・Ueno Park ・Shinobazu-no-ike Bentendo ・Ueno Toshogu Shrine

What To Expect


1. Akihabara Akihabara Electric Town: This is the main street of Akihabara. This is Japan's representative electronic town, and at the same time, it is also known as a sacred place for pop culture such as anime, manga, and idols. Let's take a photo on the street where flashy neon lights shine! 20 minutes
2. Don Quijote Akihabara Don Quijote Akihabara: Don Quijote, the hall of fame for cheap prices, is one of the largest comprehensive discount stores in Japan. There is a dedicated AKB48 theater on the 8th floor of the Akihabara store. 15 minutes
3. Manseibashi Bridge: This bridge spans the Kanda River behind Akihabara Station, and its roots date back to the Edo period. The current Manseibashi Bridge is a reinforced concrete arch bridge with a length of 26m and a width of 36m, and was built as part of the reconstruction of the imperial capital after the Great Kanto Earthquake. 5 minutes
4. Old Manseibashi Station The old Manseibashi station : This is a rare facility that reconstructed the remains of the former Bansebashi Station. The "1912 Stairway," which is almost exactly as it was when the station first opened, the "1935 Stairway," which was built when the Transportation Museum opened, and the "2013 Platform," which is a deck built on the former Bansebashi Station platform, are just a few of the many highlights. 30 minutes
5. Kanda Myoujin Shrine Kanda Myojin Shrine: Kanda Myojin is a majestic shrine decorated in vermilion and gold. The fusion of the shrine with modern architecture that also has a modern aspect is breathtaking! 25 minutes
6. Ameyoko Shopping Street Ameyoko Shopping Street: It is one of the most famous shopping streets in Japan with about 400 stores between JR Ueno Station and JR Okachimachi. It is also called "Cheap Heaven," where you can purchase souvenirs, enjoy Japanese soul food, stand-up drinking, and other experiences that you can only find here. 1 hour 20 minutes
7. Ueno Park Ueno Onshi Park: The park is visited by many people throughout the year and has beautiful scenery in each season, with cherry blossoms in the spring, lotuses in the summer, and autumn leaves in the fall. There are large art galleries, museums, a zoo, and many historic temples and shrines within the spacious grounds, where you can experience history, art, and culture. 10 minutes
8. Shinobazu Pond Shinobazu Pond: Flowers bloom throughout the year around Shinobazu Pond, making it the perfect spot for a stroll in Ueno Park. You can also take a boat ride, so it is recommended for couples and families. 20 minutes
9. Shinobazu no Ike Bentendo Shinobazu-no-ike Bentendo: Bentendo, which is close to the boat dock at Shinobazu Pond, is a power spot that brings many benefits such as financial luck, business prosperity, marriage, academic studies, and the arts. If you visit here, you too may be lucky. 10 minutes
10. Toshogu Shrine Ueno Toshogu Shrine: This shrine is located in Ueno Park and is one of the Toshogu shrines dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is said to be particularly beneficial for success in life, good luck, and long, healthy life, and the grounds are home to many important cultural properties, including the glittering shrine building, also known as the Golden Hall.
