Ueno Park, located in Ueno, is the first park ever established in Tokyo. Enjoy the beautiful nature and visit the shrines within the park to experience Japan’s rich history. You can also see beautiful cherry blossoms! Near the park, there’s a local market with lots of small shops. It’s not like Shibuya with all the latest stores, but that’s exactly the charm of Ueno—you can feel a more authentic side of Japan. You can try some street food, pick up souvenirs, or just enjoy a walk around the area.

Nakano is right next to Shinjuku, but unlike the major tourist spots, it’s more of a neighborhood where locals gather. You won’t find cutting-edge shopping here—but that’s exactly its charm. The area is full of local shops, cozy cafés, and casual restaurants, always bustling with people who live nearby. These days, Nakano is famous as a hub for subculture. Let’s dive into the underground side of Tokyo!

Shinjuku is the perfect place to see Tokyo’s nightlife culture. It’s a unique mix of the past and present, and just walking around is really fun. I’ll guide you through a historic bar alley that was created after the war, and right after you pass through, you’ll find a big shrine waiting for you.
