Ueno is a place where culture and art can be enjoyed. Ueno Onshi Koen , adjacent to the station, is home to art galleries, museums, Shinobazuno Pond, a temple with a five-story pagoda, and Ueno Zoo, and is also a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing. Along the railroad tracks is the “Ueno Ameyoko Shopping Street,” with its lively stores and the echoing shouts of the vendors.
