Kaminarimon & Nakamise-dōriAsakusa Station ← Nakamise shopping street
City streets
Begin under the Kaminarimon, the vast 'Thunder Gate' and its four-metre red lantern, first raised in 942 and rebuilt in 1960 by the founder of Panasonic. Beyond it runs Nakamise-dōri, one of Japan's oldest shopping streets, lined with stalls selling rice crackers, folding fans and freshly steamed sweets. About 20 minutes.
عن هذا المكان
The Kaminarimon is the outer of two large entrance gates that ultimately leads to the Sensō-ji in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. The gate, with its lantern and statues, is popular with tourists. It stands at 11.7 m tall, 11.4 m wide and covers an area of 69.3 m2. The first gate was built in 941, but the current gate dates from 1960, after the previous gate was destroyed in a fire in 1865.

Temple precinct
Pass through the Hōzōmon gate to the Main Hall of Tokyo's oldest temple, founded in 628 to enshrine a tiny golden Kannon said to have been pulled from the Sumida River by two fishermen. Waft the incense smoke over yourself for good health, then admire the five-storey pagoda alongside. About 45 minutes.

Through Kappabashi Kitchen StreetSensō-ji ← Kappabashi Dōgugai
City streets
Walk west into Kappabashi, Tokyo's wholesale street for everything a restaurant needs — knives, ceramics, lanterns and the astonishingly realistic plastic food models displayed in shop windows across Japan. A browser's paradise, and a good place to buy a keepsake. About 30 minutes.
عن هذا المكان
Kappabashi-dori, also known just as Kappabashi or Kitchen Town, is a street in Tokyo between Ueno and Asakusa which is almost entirely populated with shops supplying the restaurant trade. These shops sell everything from knives and other kitchen utensils, mass-produced crockery, restaurant furniture, ovens, and decorations, through to esoteric items such as the plastic display food found outside Japanese restaurants. The street is also an off-beat tourist destination.

Kappabashi Dōgugai ← Ameya-Yokochō
City streets
Continue south-west to Ameya-Yokochō, the raucous open-air market strung beneath the JR tracks near Ueno. Once a post-war black market, 'Ameyoko' now packs some four hundred stalls hawking dried seafood, spices, cheap trainers and skewers eaten on the spot. About 30 minutes with a snack stop.
- Into Ueno Park
Ameya-Yokochō ← Shinobazu Pond
Park paths
Climb the steps into Ueno Park, opened in 1873 as one of Japan's first public parks and famous for over a thousand cherry trees. Skirt Shinobazu Pond, whose summer lotus beds hide a small island shrine, and pass the statue of Saigō Takamori walking his dog. About 30 minutes.
- The Tokyo National Museum
Shinobazu Pond ← Tokyo National Museum
Park paths
End at the grand halls of the Tokyo National Museum, the country's oldest and largest, holding the world's greatest collection of Japanese art — samurai armour, swords, ceramics and Buddhist sculpture. Even an hour here is a fitting close to a walk through old Tokyo.
