Ameyoko Shopping Street
The Ameyoko Shopping Street, affectionately known as "Ameyoko," stretches approximately 500m between JR Ueno Station and JR Okachimachi Station, with around 400 shops lining the street. It features a variety of businesses, including food and confectionery, clothing, general goods, and jewelry stores.
You could spend the whole day here eating, drinking, and shopping and still not see everything! Prices are cheaper than in other areas, and it's a great place to shop. You can find everything Ameyoko is famous for.
Fueki Ramune
A collaboration between Fueki Animal Glue, used in Japanese kindergarten and after-school education, and ramune. A total of six types of ramune come with Hueki-kun's illustration printed on them in a cute Hueki-kun shaped container.
The cute, retro Fueki-kun design brings back memories—I loved their stationery as a kid. Now they're teaming up with other brands to sell soda and beauty products, but honestly, it feels a bit mismatched.
DiverCity Tokyo Plaza
Welcomed by the gargantuan 19.7-meter, life-sized Unicorn Gundam statue, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza embodies its concept as a "theatrical urban space," offering a place to play, learn, relax, and just take in each moment of surprise and inspiration. Tantalize all five senses at this unforgettable destination that’s like none ever before.
The Gundam light show at night is awesome! Even though only the head moves, everyone was amazed. I couldn't stop snapping photos.
