A little bit of everything about Tokyo culture!
Ueno has no equal in terms of museums, history and greenery in the city of Tokyo. And, with the raucous Ameyoko shopping street and numerous little down to earth eating spots plus Akihabara Electric Town just down the road, there is something here for everyone. This was once the site of the last civil war battle for the capital, location of the nation’s first public park and today home of perhaps THE best collection of cherry blossoms in Japan in spring. Oh, and did I mention the pandas in the zoo?
For: Anyone coming to Tokyo - anyone in Tokyo - anyone at all with an interest in Japan, the people, the history of the modern-era and of course those with a passion for museums!
Fully accompanied tour taking in all the sites, many off the so-called beaten track - and the truth about Japan's most famous statue seen along the way!
