This is WHY.. I ALWAYS stay in UENO TOKYO: 3 minute guide | 2023

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

I love Ueno! - which should be my next 3-minute guide?

[@shaunpierce4174]

I was considering using Ueno as my base next month, and after seeing this I have decided it's the ideal spot for me. Nice one Nathan.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Glad I could help.. Many places near by, there are many other great spots to consider.. Around the Tokyo station, Shinjuku/Shibuya, Ikebukuro or even Shinagawa! shop around too!

[@hughjorgen1051]

We stayed there a few weeks ago, and Ueno really is the perfect hub to get around, and has everything an international traveler needs.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

I’m glad you found ueno suits your needs!

[@abrahamalatorre]

I'm late to watching this. Since I am traveling to Japan in late May, I may possibly consider making Ueno as my base since it has a little of everything. And because it is my first time solo travel and in the country, hopefully this is a great spot for me to make my base.@@NinjaMonkeyguy

[@ArtofLuba]

We stayed in Shinjuku on our last trip but we spent most of our time in Ueno, so this time we will be staying at Ueno. The park alone with all the museums could take several days to get through at a quiet pace. Very nice video, thanks!

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

I never get bored of Ueno :)

[@shoiku4734]

Ueno Park was the first park I went to in 2009. It's a big area with a huge pond and cute paddle swan boats that attract cute ducks to swim near. Beautiful in the Sakura season. Temple. Alleys in Ueno that have many clothing & discount stores.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Ueno in sakura is very busy but beautiful

[@vaultboi76]

Thanks Ninja Monkey, I’ll admit I’m starting to feel really intimidated by the colossal size of Tokyo- and that trains are essential, but your guides really help ease my worries 😅

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

I’m glad you are more at ease :)

[@Undrave]

Tokyo is absolutely massive, but I find that once you're on the ground it feels more like a collection of small cities than a single giant one. Everything around the major stations is walkable and you can easily just pick a stop on the Yamanote line and spend the day exploring its surrounding and have a full experience.

[@drlink7691]

you are did and awsome job with this video and like the new short and inforative video in one go ...keep up the good work

[@TheGingerPops1]

100% agree with you here Ninja having stayed there last week- couldn’t get enough of the area. Good video! I’m already missing it

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Always missing it! thanks for the comment Matt

[@jiyon167]

Ueno will always have a special place in my heart. As a regular Tokyo traveler. As it was the second place I stayed at on my second trip there. The Eastern side of Tokyo is a lot cheaper than Shinjuku etc. As it has a reputation as being not very cool. But Ueno has a lot of offer. Staying at Koto city next week.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Ueno area does indeed have a lot to offer.. I do also see the appeal of Shinjuku etc.

[@Selfchriscovery]

Ueno is beautiful. I had the pleasure of being in Ueno park for Hanami this year. It was wonderful! The zoo is incredible for the value as well. I think I will stay in Ueno next time I go to Tokyo. I'd recommend Tamachi for another good spot that's less quiet, however Ueno definitely has more things to see and do than Tamachi.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Ueno is def has a lot of things to do!

[@pinoi78]

Ueno FTW. I stayed there for a week my first time in Japan…the station was a two min walk from my hotel…loved everything about the area. I’m glad I stayed there over Shibuya and Shinjuku.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Shibuya and Shinjuku are also great.. but theres something about ueno that makes it special for me anyway

[@armiyyaaa2087]

Will go to Japan this year. May I know the name of your hotel? Thanks!

[@heythave]

Yes, which hotel did you stay in? And how did you like it?

[@pinoi78]

@@heythave I stayed at the APA Hotel Keisei Ueno-Ekimae. It was great as the station to the Ueno Skyliner was right across the street. Plus Ueno station was a three minute walk away. I would definitely stay there again since it was also close to Ameyokocho.

[@samalim373]

This just made me feel so much better about booking our accomodation there as first time travellers

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

There really isn't a perfect spot but I think you chose nice!

[@Undrave]

I went to Ueno on my first trip to Japan and fell in love with it! Went back for three of my days there and on my second trip I went for one of the MyStays in the era! It was a GREAT choice. Tons of food and shopping opportunity and it's got plenty of its own attractions. Shout out to the small Shitamachi Museum and its crew of volunteers. Go give them a visit, it's worth it!

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

My stats are great too! I’ll have to check that museum!

I agree! I usually stay in Asakusa, but last time I stayed in Ueno and it was comfortable getting around. And I liked the huge park

Thank you for the guide, I like Ueno.. but its still Asakusa for me, it very charming at night with the lights and less people

Love this❤! We are staying in Ueno when we get to Tokyo and it seemed like the perfect location for the Sanja Matsuri!

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Ooh great thing is you’ll be able to walk home after :)

[@GothQueenRo]

I love Ueno, too! Going there during sakura season is pretty neat! I went to Ueno Park, and there were so many food stalls and people viewing the flowers. I stayed in Akihabara, but Ueno is definitely a place I'd consider as well. I remember you mentioning a restaurant in Ameyokocho, and I ended up seeing it! Didn't get to visit, though. Maybe next year!

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Yes!! Next years adventure awaits!!

[@muajin]

Ueno is a very nice area. It's usually my go-to place if i have nothing else to do. Just a stone's throw from there is Akihabara too and it's a nice enjoyable walk as well.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Yea the walk makes it seem like its the same neighbourhood but SO different!

[@extremelucky1]

Great perspective. I checked out Ueno Park when I was in Tokyo in November and I kind of liked it there. I stayed in APA Kabukicho Shinjuku which I found to be way too loud at night to sleep.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

ooh was APA loud in Kabukicho good to know!

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

Interesting video. When I last went to Tokyo, I stayed in Akasaka and loved it for similar reasons: Easy access to popular areas by transit but still quiet and walkable at night. Coming back with my partner this fall so will consider Ueno.

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Akasaka and Ueno have very different feels so it should be a great experience :)

[@duckbizniz663]

Helpful information for new visitors to Tokyo.

Glad it was helpful!

I've currently booked a hotel at Akihabara but might change it to Ueno just because there's places to eat around the area. Thanks for the info!

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Both good locations, I'm sure you will be fine in Aki too

[@Jay-vr8it]

i stayed in tsukiji but ueno was amazing, went to the temple, zoo and walked around. side note for the zoo, you have to go before they open because the panda lines are over 1.5hours

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

[@lihihongan5289]

I always stay in the Ikebukuro area…I avoid Ueno because it lacks of Limosine bus access…but always thinking about staying next time…

well.. it depends where you fly from.. It has direct access to Narita!! :)

[@Tobenatorr]

Awesome suggestion. How long is the walk to those popular areas that you brought up? I'm going to Japan with some friends in September and am collecting and searching for data and your videos have been so helpful

Hi, is there a bus station in ueno to and from narita airport? Which hotel do you recomend for family?

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

Your best bet is to get the train directly from Narita to Ueno!

[@jamescc2010]

After watching a few videos, Ueno stands our due to quiet location and not too crowded. Can you recommend some hotels there for 3 people? What other areas of Tokyo or nearby that you recommend for quiet and less crowed near train station? We are not too crazy about busy city areas but will check them out. We will fly in Narita Airport later in December, and look to say either at a hotel or airbnb. Will stay from Dec 23-30, so less than a week. Like to visit Kyoto, Osaka, Nikko, Mt.

as a first timer Asakusa is magical but I still think Ueno is better connected and easy to access Asakusa anyway, so really there is no wrongo answer.. look into APA hotels or similar

[@PeeperSnail]

Ueno has it all. A large park, a zoo, several museums, temples, a market, several character stores, several train lines connecting to it, closeness to other famous neighborhoods. When I go to Japan, I hope to get a hotel in the area. 😊

[@jaxj17]

I hear Shinagawa City is great to stay because it’s right next to the Station accessible for a Shinkansen. What is the main difference between staying there or like Hamamatsucho or further up north. Pretty much that straight line from Shinagawa to Ueno? Is there a sweet spot or just Ueno is the way to go?

[@NinjaMonkeyguy]

There is no right way, I guess ueno has more in the area to do and see and is more “traditional” shinegawa is very convenient but perhaps doesn’t have the same charm

Wifi in Japan can be a little tricky so I totally recommend a sim or pocket wifi. If your phone as esim then that could also work well. Obviously your hotel will likely have wifi but it’s not as widespread as you might think . But it depends on how you will use it too
