UENO STATIONUeno Station - Ueno Station information and train lines. Ueno Station is a major station on the edge of inner Tokyo and includes Shinkansen lines.Ueno Station (上野駅, ueno-eki) is a major railway station in Tokyo's Taitō ward. It is the station used to reach the Ueno district and Ueno Park -- which contains Tokyo National Museum, The National Museum of Western Art, Ueno Zoo, Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and other famous cultural facilities. A major commuter hub, it is also the traditional terminus for long-distance trains from the northern Japan, although with the extension of the Shinkansen lines to Tokyo Station this role has diminished in recent years. Nearby is Keisei-Ueno Station, the Tokyo terminus of the Keisei Main Line to Narita Airport Station.
Ueno Station History
The station opened
on July 28, 1883. After the destruction of this first building in
the fires caused by the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, Japan National
Railways constructed the current station buildings. In 1927, Tokyo
Underground Railway (now Tokyo Metro) opened Japan's first subway
line from here to Asakusa Station. Following World War II, the
neighbourhood in front of Ueno Station was a major center of black
market activity. Lines Serviced by Ueno Station
