After viewing the museum in Ueno Park, enjoy a walking tour to Yanaka for a bite to eat.

This time, we will start from Ueno Park, where you can enjoy cherry blossoms if the season is right.

First, head for the “Insho-tei” in the center of the park. Here you can have lunch or enjoy a cup of green tea and Japanese sweets at the adjacent sweet shop, “Kikkusako”.

INNSYOUTEI

A wonderful bean vegetable restaurant located in Ueno Park, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. You can enjoy cherry blossom viewing in the surrounding area, as well as the art museum and the museum as a set. We also recommend the sweet shop “Café Kayo” next door.

• EAT

TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM

If you want to experience Japanese art and history, this is the place to be. The building is also a must-see. However, like most museums overseas, it is not free.

• FACILITY

UENOSAKURAGIATARI

A small complex of old houses between Ueno Park and Yanaka Cemetery. Visitors can enjoy shopping, having a drink, or just hanging out in the uniquely Japanese building.

• FACILITY
• EAT

YANAKA MATSUNOYA

A store of useful and retro lifestyle goods such as small chairs and baskets that you want for your kitchen. Nearby is “Yuyake Dandan,” a staircase leading to Yanaka shopping street. It is a place where the sunset is really beautiful.

• SHOPPING

NIKU NO SUZUKI

If you are going to eat in Yanaka Ginza shopping street, you can definitely get “menchikatsu” at this store. There are other stores similar to this one, but these are really good menchikatsu made by a butcher. Be warned, they often sell out! (The store has moved from its previous location and is in a new branch)

• EAT

KISSA NITO

A small coffee shop where you can relax and unwind. It is a new and beautiful store. Not only is the coffee delicious, but the pudding and sandwiches are also delicious and reasonably priced. After eating or walking around Yanaka Ginza, this is the place to relax.

• EAT

This “Cafe Nito” is the goal of this visit. Let’s relax and have a cup of coffee or cream soda at the end.

On the way back, you can either go to nearby Sendagi Station (Chiyoda Line) or go back to Yanaka Ginza shopping street and go straight ahead to Nippori Station (JR Yamanote Line, etc.).

Ueno and Yanaka can be enjoyed on their own, but since they are closer than expected and there are many places of interest along the way, they can also be enjoyed as a set.
