Located north-east of the heart of Tokyo, Ueno has been a perfect destination for those who desire good food and cultural exploration. What makes Ueno distinctively unique is its dynamic blend of contrasts; chaos and serenity, urban development and natural beauty, modernity and tradition, common touch and nobility.

Ueno Park is located on what was once the grounds of the largest, most prestigious temple in Edo (old Tokyo), from the the 17th to 19th century. It is one of the most beloved cherry-blossom viewing spots in Tokyo. Local Japanese and tourists flock together for shopping and eating at its nearby district Ameyoko, where you will find a countless number of unique bars and dining places.

While tasting the foods and enjoying the atmosphere of the area, you will find yourself becoming welcomed as a local in this friendly community.

This tour is way overpriced, you can eat on your own for three days in Tokyo and enjoy much better food. Tour guide provides no insight about the food's origin/components or Japanese culture, neither Japanese nor English was his first language. We do not recommend this tour.
Great Experience!

This is our first time in Japan. Our guide was patient with us, showing us small restaurants that featured many types of Japanese foods. She explained the history of the Ueno area and Tokyo generally. Because we had a small group, we were able to enjoy conversation with her too.
Perfect tour

It was such a pleasant experience! Got to meet some great people and try very tasty foods. We were already In Japan for a week but had not tried anything like these places! Matcha ice cream was my personal favorite and I definitely recommend trying this out on your trip!
