| If you feel the need for a coffee break during
your historical walking tour, there are coffee shops near many of the sites, so
you can ask where one is near you. Some of the sites also have shops nearby that
sell Japanese sweets and green tea.
One recommendation for lunch is to try one of the restaurants that have been serving
unagi (eel) since the Edo period. If you are not up to such adventure,
another good idea is to eat at one of the establishments that have been offering
Western food since the Meiji era. Ueno has several of both types of these restaurants.
The Ueno Ikenohata area is filled with eating and drinking establishments. For
dinner, you can find a variety of restaurants specializing in Japanese, Western,
Chinese, or Korean food, so visitors are best advised to just enter one they find
appealing. There also are restaurants in this area famous for their Japanese soba
(buckwheat noodles). |
