 Tips about Ameyoko Street

Ameya-Yokocho, more fondly known as Ameyoko, is one of Ueno’s most vibrant street markets—a bustling corridor tucked under the railway tracks between Ueno and Okachimachi Stations. Once a post-war black market, today it’s a kaleidoscope of over 400 shops and stalls selling everything from fresh seafood and exotic fruits to discount fashion, cosmetics, and quirky souvenirs. The air is alive with energy: vendors calling out their bargains, the aroma of sizzling yakitori, and the sweet temptation of candy shops that nod to Ameyoko’s name origins. Food lovers can graze endlessly—bite into crispy menchi katsu at Niku no Ohyama, slurp noodles at Tentenraku, or savor fresh sashimi bowls at Minatoya. International flavors abound too, from Korean tteok-bokki to Turkish kebabs. Beyond food, bargain hunters delight in drugstores, tea specialists, retro import shops, and endless sweets. Ameyoko is a sensory adventure—part shopping spree, part culinary journey, and wholly Tokyo.
