Not only is this spacious public park a great place to go for a stroll, but is also home to the Tokyo National Museum, the Ueno Zoo, and of course the National Museum of Western Art. And if that doesn't give you enough to do, you can always rent a boat and explore the lovely waters of Ueno Park.

One of the oldest soba restaurants in Tokyo. A must visit institution. Try their tempura as well, it is delicious! 

This is one of Tokyo's most famous soba restaurants serving perfectly cooked nutty buckwheat noodles. The preserved building the restaurant is found in dates back to 1924, and is truly the epitome of classic Japanese design.

We adore coming to this compact little ramen shop that is known for its flavoursome gourmet Shio Ramen. The shop itself is one of the most highly regarded in Akihabara. Need we say more?
