I love Ueno! - which should be my next 3-minute guide?
I was considering using Ueno as my base next month, and after seeing this I have decided it's the ideal spot for me. Nice one Nathan.
Glad I could help.. Many places near by, there are many other great spots to consider.. Around the Tokyo station, Shinjuku/Shibuya, Ikebukuro or even Shinagawa! shop around too!
Thanks Ninja Monkey, I’ll admit I’m starting to feel really intimidated by the colossal size of Tokyo- and that trains are essential, but your guides really help ease my worries 😅
I’m glad you are more at ease :)
Tokyo is absolutely massive, but I find that once you're on the ground it feels more like a collection of small cities than a single giant one. Everything around the major stations is walkable and you can easily just pick a stop on the Yamanote line and spend the day exploring its surrounding and have a full experience.
Will be there this november. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks 😊
We stayed there a few weeks ago, and Ueno really is the perfect hub to get around, and has everything an international traveler needs.
I’m glad you found ueno suits your needs!
I'm late to watching this. Since I am traveling to Japan in late May, I may possibly consider making Ueno as my base since it has a little of everything. And because it is my first time solo travel and in the country, hopefully this is a great spot for me to make my base.@@NinjaMonkeyguy
Ueno Park was the first park I went to in 2009. It's a big area with a huge pond and cute paddle swan boats that attract cute ducks to swim near. Beautiful in the Sakura season. Temple. Alleys in Ueno that have many clothing & discount stores.
Ueno in sakura is very busy but beautiful
Thank you for the guide, I like Ueno.. but its still Asakusa for me, it very charming at night with the lights and less people
you are did and awsome job with this video and like the new short and inforative video in one go ...keep up the good work
Ueno is a very good place to stay in Tokyo in my opinion too! Cool video
so many places.. but Ueno is one of my top :)
Hope there's a step by step guide tutorial on how.to.use train subways in Tokyo Japan
Ueno will always have a special place in my heart. As a regular Tokyo traveler. As it was the second place I stayed at on my second trip there. The Eastern side of Tokyo is a lot cheaper than Shinjuku etc. As it has a reputation as being not very cool. But Ueno has a lot of offer.
Staying at Koto city next week.
Ueno area does indeed have a lot to offer.. I do also see the appeal of Shinjuku etc.
We stayed in Shinjuku on our last trip but we spent most of our time in Ueno, so this time we will be staying at Ueno. The park alone with all the museums could take several days to get through at a quiet pace. Very nice video, thanks!
I never get bored of Ueno :)
Ueno FTW. I stayed there for a week my first time in Japan…the station was a two min walk from my hotel…loved everything about the area. I’m glad I stayed there over Shibuya and Shinjuku.
Shibuya and Shinjuku are also great.. but theres something about ueno that makes it special for me anyway
Will go to Japan this year. May I know the name of your hotel? Thanks!
Yes, which hotel did you stay in? And how did you like it?
@@heythave I stayed at the APA Hotel Keisei Ueno-Ekimae. It was great as the station to the Ueno Skyliner was right across the street. Plus Ueno station was a three minute walk away. I would definitely stay there again since it was also close to Ameyokocho.
I'm going to Tokyo and Japan for the first time next month arriving from Haneda airport. Do you recommendo Ueno o asakusa? Amd do you have any suggestion for a cheap but comfortable hotel?
as a first timer Asakusa is magical but I still think Ueno is better connected and easy to access Asakusa anyway, so really there is no wrongo answer.. look into APA hotels or similar
I always stay in the Ikebukuro area…I avoid Ueno because it lacks of Limosine bus access…but always thinking about staying next time…
well.. it depends where you fly from.. It has direct access to Narita!! :)
This just made me feel so much better about booking our accomodation there as first time travellers
There really isn't a perfect spot but I think you chose nice!
I stayed in Ueno last month. Loved it!
I agree! I usually stay in Asakusa, but last time I stayed in Ueno and it was comfortable getting around. And I liked the huge park
there really isnt a wrong area
Ueno is beautiful. I had the pleasure of being in Ueno park for Hanami this year. It was wonderful! The zoo is incredible for the value as well. I think I will stay in Ueno next time I go to Tokyo. I'd recommend Tamachi for another good spot that's less quiet, however Ueno definitely has more things to see and do than Tamachi.
Ueno is def has a lot of things to do!
Every time I visit Japan I always stay in or stay very close to Ueno. I love it!
Great choice hehe
If I would stay in Tokyo, it would probably be Asakusa, a lot of good breakfast places. However I don't really go to Tokyo unless it cheap flight in and out of the country there.
Asakusa is a nice area
100% agree with you here Ninja having stayed there last week- couldn’t get enough of the area. Good video! I’m already missing it
Always missing it! thanks for the comment Matt
I actually stayed in APA in Ueno and I gotta say, it's the best place to stay if you're ending your trip, also yamanote line is the best one so far
so many great places but Ueno has my heart for now
I stayed in a MyStays in Ueno and it was great. How are the APA hotels?
Thank you for these videos! I wasnt sure where to base myself when heading to tokyo this has made my decision pretty obvious! Headed there in October 🙂
Thanks for the comment.. really there isn’t a right choice.. hope you enjoy it
Ueno is a very nice area. It's usually my go-to place if i have nothing else to do. Just a stone's throw from there is Akihabara too and it's a nice enjoyable walk as well.
Yea the walk makes it seem like its the same neighbourhood but SO different!
Yes , agreed Ninja 🐒 top area especially the pond 💯
That too! !!
I actually booked Ueno after researches (months ago) even though I know most people stay Shinjuku/Tokyo Stn. Thank you for reassuring me of my decision!!
They too are great choices.. its just up to preference I guess
Helpful information for new visitors to Tokyo.
Glad it was helpful!
Great perspective. I checked out Ueno Park when I was in Tokyo in November and I kind of liked it there. I stayed in APA Kabukicho Shinjuku which I found to be way too loud at night to sleep.
ooh was APA loud in Kabukicho good to know!
I love Ueno, too! Going there during sakura season is pretty neat! I went to Ueno Park, and there were so many food stalls and people viewing the flowers. I stayed in Akihabara, but Ueno is definitely a place I'd consider as well. I remember you mentioning a restaurant in Ameyokocho, and I ended up seeing it! Didn't get to visit, though. Maybe next year!
Yes!! Next years adventure awaits!!
I went to Ueno on my first trip to Japan and fell in love with it! Went back for three of my days there and on my second trip I went for one of the MyStays in the era! It was a GREAT choice. Tons of food and shopping opportunity and it's got plenty of its own attractions. Shout out to the small Shitamachi Museum and its crew of volunteers. Go give them a visit, it's worth it!
My stats are great too! I’ll have to check that museum!
Love this❤! We are staying in Ueno when we get to Tokyo and it seemed like the perfect location for the Sanja Matsuri!
Ooh great thing is you’ll be able to walk home after :)
Have you stayed at Hotel New Ueno or Hotel Crown hills ueno premier?
Actually I stayed at Hotel New Ueno before it was re-branded (Before Covid) I loved staying there in the past but I have no idea what its like now
@@NinjaMonkeyguy great thanks
Stayed there last time in 2018 and will stay there this year too.
Close to many attractions and rather cheap.
Great video, always with the best advice. Thank you my friend.
always a pleasure!
Street scene camera work is really nice
Thanks .. working on it !
Usually i stay in Ueno Okachimachi, one stop away from Akihabara
Thank you for these videos, they are so helpful and straightforward, I’m planning a trip with a group of friends, for a 7 day trip next April, I felt so lost watching other RUclipsrs but this guy is amazing 🔥
Aww thanks for your support and kind words .. I have a packed 7 day itinerary and 14 day itinerary video that might give you ideas
Always stay there
I love that area.. lately ive been moving about depending on my needs
What areas of Tokyo or nearby that you recommend for quiet and less crowed near train station. We are not too crazy about busy city areas but will check them out.
We will fly in Narita Airport later in December, and look to say either at a hotel or airbnb. Will stay from Dec 23-30, so less than a week.
Like to visit Kyoto, Osaka, Nikko, Mt. Fuji and will buy JR Pass.
Thanks
If you stay away from the main hubs like Shinjuku, Roppongi and Ginza you’ll find a lot of quieter locations.. I cannot recommend a hotel as everyone has different needs , ages and budgets . You might want to check my how to find a hotel guide

🇯🇵
After watching a few videos, Ueno stands our due to quiet location and not too crowded. Can you recommend some hotels there for 3 people?
What other areas of Tokyo or nearby that you recommend for quiet and less crowed near train station? We are not too crazy about busy city areas but will check them out.

I recommend this video to help you out: ruclips.net/video/LUfFIvZ2U1o/видео.html
Thanks for the advice. And I'm sure someone has said it but I clicked on this because I thought it was Chris Broad😅
haha.. hopefully it wasn't a disappointing video without Chris hehe
i stayed in tsukiji but ueno was amazing, went to the temple, zoo and walked around. side note for the zoo, you have to go before they open because the panda lines are over 1.5hours
Yep all that area is nice
Ueno is great indeed! 👍
Love the area .. so cool and many things to do
Can you do some vids on places to eat with English menus? Some won’t serve since they don’t speak English or no vending machine or English menu.
I have a video! ruclips.net/video/PtfB-a2fO0E/видео.htmlsi=JUK_2a-2bE67Bsrw
I'd love to stay in Ueno. My absolute favorite neighborhood in Tokyo. But, there are so many cheaper places in the city, I'll probably never stay there.
Which area are cheaper?

Thanks for your info. We stayed here and enjoyed Ueno! We loved the vibe here. We just got back from Japan!
Wow I’m so glad it worked out for you
can you recommend some good accomodation in this area? budget and family friendly ones
For family friendly you might want to consider AirBnb and maybe Business style hotels: Here are some videos to guide you: ruclips.net/video/LUfFIvZ2U1o/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/0yKXc4zx0tU/видео.html
I’m trying to join the discord but it says link is expired, help plz
Try via the ninjasaru.com website
You left out the 10000 steps up down up down to get out of the station and across the roads . A real pain if you have luggage
Maybe you got lost? many different options either crossing the road or walking via under passes .. additionally pretty much every station will have quite a few steps to get in and out especially in major hubs. Infact Ueno is one of the most accessible of stations with elevators And escalators to ground level
I'd like to be by the transport and stuff, but not in the middle of all the bars or the loudest loud. Is this a good area for that?
yep one of the many!
Hi I’m single traveling and I book hotel at akihabara for cherry blossom next year do you think is
Ok this area thank
Akihabara is very near to Ueno which is a great location!
Ueno = expensive hotels that charge a lot compared to other areas.//If the Ueno Park swan boats are still there, it's fun to paddle/cycle around inside the boat with the ducks swimming up to you.
What other comparable area is cheaper? Ueno is among one of the cheapest on the yamanote / Shinkansen line
I've currently booked a hotel at Akihabara but might change it to Ueno just because there's places to eat around the area. Thanks for the info!
Both good locations, I'm sure you will be fine in Aki too
I'd rather stay in the Otsuka area personally ^^
Its all preference at the end of the day!
What about good affordable places to stay in Ueno?
Always lots around Tokyo if you search with filters: ruclips.net/video/LUfFIvZ2U1o/видео.htmlsi=o0QrFnwBAlLePVuA maybe this will help:
Interesting video. When I last went to Tokyo, I stayed in Akasaka and loved it for similar reasons: Easy access to popular areas by transit but still quiet and walkable at night. Coming back with my partner this fall so will consider Ueno.
Akasaka and Ueno have very different feels so it should be a great experience :)
All that chaos of the other popular tourist areas doesn’t necessarily appeal to me, whereas somewhere like here would be more to my liking
Plenty of places to explore let me know where you end up!
Hope you do video tutorial on how to use train /subways in japan i heard its kinda conflict many stations bullet trains
One for the future!
Where did you stay? Which hotel in Ueno could you recommend?
I stayed in an APA, but really I recommend any hotel that suites your needs as everyone is so different!
Thanks a lot
We're staying next to komagome station, good idea or nah?
its on the Yamanote line so not bad :)
Hi bro, would you be able to suggest some of the affordable hotels in Ueno ? I'm planning japan in May.
apa hotels and other chain hotels .. best thing is use booking.com adjusting filters and reading reviews
Can't agree,.... staying anywhere on the Tozai Line in the Tokyo outskirts will be cheaper and convenient ...even Chiba would be a good alternative and definitely much much less foreign tourists ...
Wow, interesting point of view.. there really isn't a right way of doing this, but having travelled to Tokyo probably staying over 30 times this is an area that has a happy middle ground for me and most people that visit.
@@NinjaMonkeyguy hmmm,... only 30 times?! (^-^) ... I'll just say, the central areas of Tokyo are congested and kind of inconvenient ... (also, a lot of people you meet there aren't native Tokyoites) ... the suburbs have much more character and things to experience ...
Is Ueno a safe area when it comes to crime and pick pocketing?
mostly yes
Awesome suggestion. How long is the walk to those popular areas that you brought up? I'm going to Japan with some friends in September and am collecting and searching for data and your videos have been so helpful
about half hour to Asakusa or slightly less to Akihabara, Shytree prob 45min
shy tree lol .. Sky tree
Hi ninja monkey. Can you make a compilation of cheap accommodation within Ueno for solo travellers. Very much appreciated
I'll try in the future :)
I think I'll get a hotel there for the last leg of my Japan trip to be closer to Narita
yes its very convenient to Narita!
cheap hotels with private rooms¿?

What’s the best way to get to Ueno from Haneda and back?
Check out my airport guide video!
Wayne-o is ok, but asakusabashi is better
depends on what you want and connections,, not a bad place really
What hotel do you stay at while In Ueno? thank you
This will help! ruclips.net/video/LUfFIvZ2U1o/видео.html
I ❤ Ueno Park.
Thanks.
Ueno is lovely :)
Great video and I agree with you 100%. Ueno is a great place to stay and I will be returning on my next trip to Tokyo.
It really is!
Shibuya is also nice... great foodcourt, good ramen and many places to see
Another great choice yep!
1:29 you might have a white hat stalker here, better alert the authorities 😄
good footage is always good footage.. good company is a bonus!
Love it ❤
Yea I regret staying near Sugamo station, I had to travel everywhere 😅, ueno was a super fun place to visit! Also the park was great! 😊
Im sure you still had a great time though!
Hello.. we planning to visit japan next month. Just want to ask where is the beat place to stay in japan? We are planning to stay in japan for 8 nights.. we also planning going to Disneyland and Disney sea.. can you please help us where is the best place to stay.. thank you😊
I guess you would want to stay in Tokyo the whole time? If you are really serious about Disney then Tokyo bay area would suite you for Disney. However, if you want to explore more of Japan perhapse you should stay near Tokyo station because it will be easier to explore further afield and explore the rest of Tokyo too.
Yes I want to stay in Tokyo.. explore tokyo and visit disneyland as well..
I heard hotels are a bit cheaper as well in Ueno?
Yep shhhh .... its a secret lol
Great, please recommend a hotel in that area
... its hard to recommend a specific one
I LOVE these 3 min vids! I almost chose to stay in Ueno this year, but chose Shinjuku instead...Maybe next year :)
I might need to change so that I can make more 3 min roundups
props to the camera work
thanks! :)
Informative video!, We are staying in jpn (ueno )for only 2 days & wondered if we need to get sim card or will there be lots of wifi to help us get around ?Help ! Suggestions? Thanks
Wifi in Japan can be a little tricky so I totally recommend a sim or pocket wifi. If your phone as esim then that could also work well. Obviously your hotel will likely have wifi but it’s not as widespread as you might think . But it depends on how you will use it too
@Ninja Monkey ok ..is there a store that sells sim for 2 day stay? E sim isn't possible on my 2020 cell phone. Sorry to bother you.This is my last question, I swear ;)
@@magdalenechoy9126 at the airport you’ll find some vending machines :)
I hear Shinagawa City is great to stay because it’s right next to the Station accessible for a Shinkansen. What is the main difference between staying there or like Hamamatsucho or further up north. Pretty much that straight line from Shinagawa to Ueno? Is there a sweet spot or just Ueno is the way to go?
There is no right way, I guess ueno has more in the area to do and see and is more “traditional” shinegawa is very convenient but perhaps doesn’t have the same charm
Thank you. Awesome content as always!
Do I need a travel adapter?
Japan uses similar to USA so depends where you are from.. if you are travelling from the USA the nope
👍
Can you tell me if the Ueno Station has ramps to go down to the trains, or better yet elevators/escalators?
Ueno has escalators even to ground level and elevators too.. just be aware that some of the escalators stop operating late at night
@@NinjaMonkeyguy Thanks so much. I had knee surgery last year, and so I am still practicing coming down steps. Climbing is easier. I was going to come in April, so now I know Ueno Station has elevators/escalators. I wonder what other stations have that as well? I like the quieter areas to sleep in, but I still would like to see Shibuya and Shinjuku. You like Ueno for many reasons, and that's why I asked. :) thanks again.
You need to also factor in the fact that you might need to stand on the train if there isnt a seat.. Ueno is great but some locations like shibuya etc are a little away @@amyr3285
@@NinjaMonkeyguy Standing is okay for me, as long as I am near something I can hold onto. It’s descending steps that is a little slow for me. Can you give me a rough estimate of how far Shibuya or Shinjuku is from Ueno?
@@amyr3285 30min or so I guess
I love your videos! thanks for all the info, let me ask you one thing, is it cheaper to stay in Ueno?
It’s hard to say since Tokyo is becoming so popular .. it’s likely less expensive than places like Shinjuku but there are certainly cheaper options around but maybe with less charm and connections.. go where works well for your trip
@@NinjaMonkeyguy Thanks for taking the time to answer! I will start looking very well everywhere😁
@@sandragallego9254 check this one out Do THIS When you BOOK a TOKYO HOTEL (WORKS EVERY TIME)

I’m staying in a hotel in Ueno in December first time in Tokyo solo kinda scared
Don’t be scared! Will be amazing
@@NinjaMonkeyguy ok do I need a negative Covid 19 test to enter Japan or that is not require anymore? Just the Covid vaccine card?
@@LMiraculous not required anymore!
@@NinjaMonkeyguy ok I can get the pasmo card? instead of buying the jr pass jr pass is more expensive pasmo card I can use it all over Tokyo I heard.
Depends how much you will travel outside of the City.. I suggest you join the discord server as it's easier for these type of questions to be answered
Ueno has it all. A large park, a zoo, several museums, temples, a market, several character stores, several train lines connecting to it, closeness to other famous neighborhoods. When I go to Japan, I hope to get a hotel in the area. 😊
Ueno is one of many great places! but I do love it there!
Cool 😊thanks
No problem 😊
Dude I can’t wait to see Japan on Monday!
THATS LIKE NOW! ooh exciting
@@NinjaMonkeyguy I wont arrive till tuesday, then I'm gonna drive 9 hours south from Tokyo to Yamaguchi and then to Kochi. I'm so excited!!
@@keegan2crow have an amazing trip! please share on the discord if you havnt already :)
@@NinjaMonkeyguy will do! just tried to join, but the link isn't working for me
@@keegan2crow go to my website ninjasaru.com
I get it, but Shinjuku. What can I say?
... I'll do a 3 minute guide in Shinjuku ft Dying Gaul deal?
@@NinjaMonkeyguy I’m in
Just got back from staying in Shinjuku. Prices of hotels aren't worth so I'll probably check out Ueno.
@@Sathea Shinjuku i also a fun place to stay.. very different vibe though
A great little and very informative video! I want Ueno to be my next base in Tokyo!
hope you give it a try :)
not for me, its on the eastern side and you have to consistently go west if you want to go elsewhere in Tokyo. What area isn't walkable, almost all of Tokyo is walkable.
Says the best place to stay and then doesn't recommend a single hotel to stay at???
The best place to stay .. not the best hotel to stay at .. made a separate guide to help you choose a hotel. Everyone’s needs are different it’s impossible to state one hotel that works for everyone
Great ! I am staying both in Asakausa & Ueno
Asakua and Ueno are very close together, both awesome places but maybe if you wanna stay in different location try another area in Tokyo for one of them? if not its absolutely fine :)
