Contrast between traditional street hawkers and modern designer goods can be found. Stores also follow the Tax-free shopping code for purchases above 5,000yen which they seal in a bag and attach the receipt to your passport. Opening the bag results in having to pay the...More

Despite it being a shopping street, I find the place more charming during the hour just before the opening time of 10am. There is no horde of mainland Chinese tourists, just the hardworking locals doing deliveries and setting up shops. Once it past 10.30am, that's...More

Realised there isn’t much “shopping street” like these in Tokyo (or maybe I didn’t explore enough). But this place is bustling with life from food shops, to fresh seafood shops, dried goods, local delicacy, fruits and so much more. Good to spend just the morning...More

Located in Ueno, It's very near the subway station. You can buy fruits, shoes, pre loved signature bags there. We went to a very good Tempura/ Tendon restaurant there.

This place is not Japan anymore. Full of annoying Chinese, yelling, coughing. If you want to have great Japan trip, please avoid Chinese and the place full of Chinese. 這裡已經不算是日本了。 這裡充斥著大聲嚷嚷與咳嗽的中國人。 如果你希望有個美好的日本之旅, 請避開中國人以及充滿中國人的地方。

Ueno, Asakusa
Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old
Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa.
Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit
a variety of different museums and galleries. At
Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the
grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed
alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at
the end of the year, when many people go on shopping
