Beautiful area — 3 years ago
Ueno Park is lovely, and there’s a ryokan just down the street where you can stay. The Tokyo National Museum is on one end of the park; its art and historical exhibitions are spectacular. On Sundays the park typically comes alive with performers, and you can usually find street vendors serving up hot food too. Ueno’s got the convenience of Tokyo without as much hustle and bustle. There are some great restaurants in the area, too. Just one word of warning: beware the pigeons!
