Ueno Shopping
Guide - Ueno has the Ameyoko with a few stores selling Western style
clothes. Opposite Ueno Park and Station are some main stream stores.
Ameyoko (アメ横) is a packed shopping bazaar full of
stalls selling almost anything you can imagine. It runs roughly south
of Ueno Station along the inside of the JR Yamanote line tracks to
Okachimachi station. If you are looking for a more typically "Asian"
market street in Tokyo, with bargaining expected and friendly vendors
trying to out-shout each other, this is it. Some say that Ameyoko is a good place
for souvenirs for friends back home, but I just felt that it was all
too Westernised and not the sort of things to bring back from Japan.
The district got its name in the
post-war years from the American blue jeans and other items that were
sold on the black market.
I found the main stream stores opposite
Ueno Park and Ueno Station
to be more useful with a good sized camera store to pick up some extras
after an extensive photo shoot in Ueno Park.
