Overview
Start your journey at Ueno Park, where we’ll meet for a quick introduction before beginning a walk through Tokyo’s fascinating blend of history and modern culture. Our first stop is Ueno Park, a peaceful oasis filled with museums, shrines, cherry-blossom paths, and calm green areas that offer a perfect window into traditional Tokyo.
We’ll then visit the Saigo Takamori Statue, a tribute to Japan’s legendary “last samurai.” This iconic bronze landmark is not only a cultural highlight but also a favorite photo spot for visitors who want to connect with Japan’s rich samurai heritage.
Our walk continues to Ueno Ameyoko Shopping Street, a bustling market packed with street food stalls, fresh snacks, bargain shops, and old-Tokyo charm. Here you’ll feel the lively energy of everyday city life and taste delicious local flavors.
Finally, we dive into Akihabara Electric Town, Tokyo’s center of pop culture. Explore anime stores, electronics shops, retro gaming, figure collections, and themed cafés that showcase the city’s futuristic and playful spirit.
