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.

A highlight of this shopping district is the year-round sales, providing a lively atmosphere and offering a condensed experience of Tokyo's traditional downtown charm just by strolling through.

The area is packed with visitors, both locals and tourists, every day, but it’s even more crowded around the New Year’s holidays when people come to buy New Year’s items.

    This was my first solo trip, and I came here because it's such a great place to shop and the prices are really reasonable. A lot of things are even cheaper than in Taiwan!

  • 陳世明

    Visited again after the pandemic and found lots of unique street food and souvenirs. The yen is really cheap now, so shopping was extra fun! 😃

  • Sharon Liu

    Ameyoko has awesome food like tekka don, Meat Oyama, and takoyaki. Plus, there are super cheap drugstores and must-buy snacks at Futaki no Kashi & Shimura Store! 👍

    Ameyoko in Ueno is seriously the best place for shopping! It's like a paradise for affordable goods—some stuff is even cheaper than in Taiwan!
