What people say

"Ameyoko is a lively street market that runs alongside the train tracks of Ueno Station. The street features a huge variety of small businesses selling seafood, fruit and vegetables, discounted clothing, accessories, cosmetics. There are also a large number of stalls selling street food, along with cheap restaurants, cafes and bars. This avenue is a perfect place to buy souvenirs and taste some typical Japanese dishes at much lower prices 👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Ueno Station (350m,5min). Metro stop: Ueno, Ginza line. 🎟️Ticket cost: free entry"

"An atmospheric open-air market that offers various stores selling a massive selection of fashion, cosmetics, medicines, and even fresh food at almost ridiculously cheap prices. Ameyoko Market is known as extremely welcoming and tourist-friendly! The Ameyoko shopping street runs from Ueno Station to Okachimachi Station along the train tracks of the JR Yamanote Line and JR Keihin-Tohoku Line. It can also be accessed in a short walk from Ueno-Okachimachi Station along the Oedo Subway Line."

"Ameyoko, Shorten for Ameya Yokocho which is literally translated as candy store alley since candies were traditionally sold there. It is now a busy and colorful market to try street food from Japan, China and Korea! The food here is inexpensive as well!"
