Ameya-Yokocho, commonly known as Ameyoko, is a lively open-air market in Ueno, packed with shops selling fresh seafood, snacks, clothing, cosmetics, and souvenirs at bargain prices.
Originally a black market after World War II, it has evolved into a vibrant shopping street where visitors can experience the energy of Tokyo’s street culture.
Food stalls offer delicious treats like yakitori, takoyaki, and taiyaki, making it a great spot for street food lovers.
The market’s name, “Ameya,” refers to both “candy shops” and “American goods” once sold here.
Whether shopping or just soaking in the atmosphere, Ameyoko is a must-visit for budget-friendly finds and local flavors.
