Northern Central Tokyo

Bunkyo and Taito City area map.
Some notable neighbourhoods include: Ueno, Yanaka Ginza, and Nezu.
Mostly lesser known areas that have less noise and lights than the popular tourist spots. These are some good spots to check out if you are uneasy about crowds! Ueno can get a bit busy but its much quieter than Shinjuku or Shibuya.

Sudo Park

Small neighbourhood public access park. Not many benches available to sit at. We ended up sitting on the staircase at the back of the park. Very quiet and tranquil spot.
