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.

    Yukina was a great guide that showcased some beautiful Japanese food, she had a good knowledge of the area, we just wished she could have recommended some good coffee spots.

    We had a great time on the Secret Food Tour in Ueno with our guide, Yukina. The group size was perfect and the atmosphere felt very relaxed and friendly from the start. The food was varied and delicious, and I got to try many new things I would never have found on my own. Yukina was an excellent guide and explained everything in a fun and easy way. Sometimes I even forgot it was a tour because it felt so natural and unstressed. Highly recommended!

  • Excellent experience.

    What a wonderful time sampling lots of food! There was appetizers of sushi, chicken cooked two ways, dumplings cooked two ways, a huge main course, and two desserts! We walked from place to place in the Ueno area as Yumi talkEd about the food, the sights, and the traditiions. It was well worth the price! We enjoyed hearing about Yumi and learning about the foods including life in Japan. Also, the group was lots of fun to visit with!

    Yukina was an excellent guide, taking us to hidden gem restaurants in Tokyo. The food was delicious and plemtiful. She shared interesting facts about the city and country. She took us to several places we would not have found on our own and the owners greeted her happily. I highly recommend Secret Tours with Yukina and will book with this company in other cities. Loved the HOPPY beer at the end!
