Return details
We end our tour on a sweet note at Usagiya, a beloved traditional Japanese confectionery famous for its dorayaki. The shop is located just a 10-minute walk from Ueno Station, making it convenient to head back, continue exploring Ueno Park, visit museums, or hop on a train.

  • Ameyoko Shopping Street
    Step into the electric energy of Ameyoko, Tokyo’s liveliest open-air market. Your guide will walk you past colorful fruit stalls, fishmongers shouting specials, quirky snacks, and vintage clothing booths. Locals shop here daily — and it’s the perfect intro to the real flavors of Tokyo before the first bite.
  • Golden, crispy, and served hot — this is Tokyo-style tempura at its best. Bite into the sweet shrimp or the tender eel for a perfect blend of crunch and umami. A local favorite that tourists rarely find.
  • A thick, juicy meat patty deep-fried until golden and paired with Japan’s most nostalgic soda. Fun, comforting, and a bit retro — this is your crunchy, fizzy flashback to Japanese street culture.
  • No conveyor belts here — just masterfully sliced fish over warm rice. The fatty tuna melts like butter. It’s fast, fresh, and straight from the chef’s hand to yours. This is real sushi, Tokyo-style.
  • Gooey, crispy, topped with sauce, mayo, and dancing bonito flakes — these savory balls of joy are the kind of snack you’ll crave long after you’re home.
  • Smoky, savory, and fire-grilled over charcoal, these yakitori skewers are pure street-style satisfaction. Order, grab, and eat like a local.
  • End on a sweet note with a soft pancake filled with delicate red bean paste. This traditional wagashi is made with love and history — a perfect finale to your Tokyo taste adventure.
