Ameyoko Market is located between Ueno Station and Okachimachi Station. It is one of Tokyo's most popular markets, and it is always lively and crowded. This is a daytime market, and most shops open from 10 a.m. until evening, usually closing on Wednesdays. The market's highlight is its huge variety of goods, from fresh food to everyday items such as cosmetics, bags, shoes, and clothing, both Japanese and imported. You'll also find seafood, fruit, fresh vegetables, snack shops, giant takoyaki, mochi, cakes, chocolate, ice cream, and bubble tea, plus Japanese restaurants serving ramen, sushi, and unagi rice bowls. The market spans a large area across several alleys, including a basement level. You could say it has everything a department store has, often at lower prices than many department stores. Some shops even let you haggle over the price. If you want to shop but also enjoy a real market atmosphere, take a walk around Ameyoko — you won't be disappointed.
