What travelers are saying
- Daisychain50Lichfield, UK141 contributionsSo lucky to be here on such a wonderful day when there was such a great atmosphere and so many wonderful sights to see. A tremendous blend of temples and history alongside the excitement and the food and shopping streets. Absolutely a must visit. And if you venture down to the river you can get a cruise and also go over to other temples.Written March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Avinash NPune District, India104 contributionsA crowded tourist spot for first timers in Japan. Can be avoided for a priority visitation and kept only for the visit to the SensoJi Temple. Surrounded by small shops selling souvenirs and snacks. Close walk from Asakusa Station. Old japan vibe mixed with tourist influx.Written March 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Conley ACalifornia29 contributionsUeno Park is a Tokyo gem that seamlessly blends natural beauty with cultural richness. This expansive park in the heart of the city offers a refreshing escape from the urban buzz. Walking through the cherry blossom-lined pathways or by the serene Shinobazu Pond feels like a tranquil retreat. The park is a cultural hub, housing museums like the Tokyo National Museum and Ueno Zoo, making it an ideal destination for both nature lovers and history enthusiasts. Ueno Park's seasonal festivals, vibrant street performances, and the iconic Ueno Toshogu Shrine add an extra layer of charm. Whether you're seeking relaxation, cultural exploration, or a leisurely day outdoors, Ueno Park promises a delightful experience in Tokyo.Written January 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradenDallas, TX6 contributionsA wonderful collection of historical items that tell the thousands of years of history of the Japanese Islands. From art to warfare to culture, this museum has it all.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J&S_SingaporeSingapore, Singapore4,356 contributionsWe were at Ueno park area on a Wed and decided to drop by 1 of the many Museums within the area. Located at the western end and very conspicuous with the Whale-structure outside the bldg. The Museum of Nature and Science is one of Japan's biggest science museums.
There were groups of school children following their teachers and we followed them in the q, entrance fee is. 630 Yen for Adult. Being late Autumn we were with warm clothing so we use the coin-locker to keep them, then we can explore with more comfy.
The museum is home to tens of thousands of valuable exhibits relating to many aspects, from outer space, prehistoric dinosaurs, Japanese Geography & its ecosystems (weather & technology).
The exhibits created around the theme of "coexistence between the human race and nature," help deepen our appreciation of the Earth, life, science and technology. They also encourage people to think about how mankind, the natural world, and science and technology should best relate to each other. Other Exhibits include the preserved remains of Hachiko and the famous pandas, a fragment of the Nantan meteorite that hit China in the 16th century, and much more.
One highlight of the museum is Theater 36◯, a 360-degree movie theater in the round but the q was too long so we did not try.
There were 3 levels I believed but we did not go to everyone. Still it was very meaningful tour for all of us indeed. We also chilled off at the Food place before leaving the Museum after a good 1.5 hour. Visited the large souvenir shop too.

They have Monet, Renoir, Manet, Van Gogh as well as many others. Plus a special Cubist exhibit which we really likedWritten December 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen MKirkwall, UK670 contributionsEasy access from Ueno station. Multiple streets run under the train lines & have loads of quirky shops, great for that typical Japan item. Wander & explore - make sure you go up & down the various streets. Loads of tat shops but between them you can find a unique gem.
Also, make sure you visit the shrine hidden down a side streetWritten February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TofurryRenton, WA1,051 contributionsWe were staying in the Asakusa area so this was a 10 minute walk for us. You really can't miss this street; every shop sells kitchenware, knives, tableware etc. I was hoping to buy some cute ceramic bowls, chopsticks and such but when I was there, it was a bit overwhelming going into every store. And I really didn't have too much time to browse.
We did buy 2 knives from Kamata though. I had researched beforehand and had down names of a few knife shops that were recommended. Kamata was one so we went in and after browsing and talking to the shopkeepers, bought 2 for around $100 each. My sons love using them so it was definitely a good purchase.
Other than the knives, we just bought a fake food magnet from a fake food store. The items in there are quite expensive for a souvenir, especially when you can buy something from another store that you can actually use!
We got tax refunds for the knives at an office on the street. It was an easy few minute process since no one else was in there but us.Written February 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
