[Tokyo] Ameyoko Market & Ueno Park 1.5-Hour Small Group Food & Culture Tour
- What to expect
-
A 1.5-hour small-group walking tour exploring Ameyoko (Ameya Yokocho) right outside Ueno Station and Ueno Onshi Park. From the vibrant shopping street to the park wrapped in history and nature, set out on a special walking tour where you can experience Ueno's contrasting charms while touching upon Japanese food culture, traditions, and the daily lives of locals. First, we head to the Ameyoko shopping street, which developed from a post-war black market. Enjoy the energetic and slightly chaotic atmosphere of the town, blending spirited vendors, goods packed tightly together, rare ingredients, and multinational gourmet food. While taking on the "local exploration challenge" given by the guide, discover hidden specialties not found in tourist guidebooks and unique Japanese food culture. We will also introduce tips for enjoying Ameyoko like a local, such as how to order at shops, shopping tips, and street-eating manners. Passing beyond the bustling shopping street, you will find the lush greenery of Ueno Onshi
