Overview
Akihabara and Ueno, which are popular with tourists, are very unique areas with completely different atmospheres and characteristics, even though they are adjacent to each other.
Akihabara is famous as the mecca of Japanese subculture, including manga, anime, and video games. It is also widely known as Japan's number one electronics town.
Ueno, on the other hand, has a strong image of nature and culture today, with its Ueno Zoological Gardens, National Museum, but historically, it was a place with very close ties to the Tokugawa family. It is also a lively town of common people where the atmosphere of those days remains, such as the shopping streets derived from the postwar black market.
Let's go on a walk around Akihabara and Ueno that can be enjoyed by both adults and children!
