The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Ueno, Asakusa
Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa. Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit a variety of different museums and galleries. At Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at the end of the year, when many people go on shopping sprees. The town of Asakusa, developed around Sensoji temple, has many shops selling goods and clothing from old Japan, making it a great place for souvenir hunting. It's also known for various annual festivals, and the whole district gets involved with the huge Sanja Festival in May.

This is one of the oldest underground shopping streets in Japan. It is inconspicuous at first glance. One entrance is found in front of Ekimise shopping building that leads to Asakusa’s underground. The short underground link connects the Tobu Asakusa Station to the Nakamise Shopping Street. There are a few sundry goods stores and restaurants, mainly catering to subway travelers heading to/from Asakusa station.

Visited at midday and only action was at the noodle stands. The ninja sake place looked interesting but was closed. Quickly exited the area to visit a nearby shopping street

We walked to this underground alley just by accident. We were in a shopping street and saw some sign and walked downstairs and there you go. Not much to see there - just some tiny restaurants and sake places. And when we walked through an exit, we actually entered the metro walkway. It seems that people walking by are not aware of this entrance/exit and this place.
