Easy walkLocal sceneryA small meal

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Taito brings together Asakusa and Ueno in Tokyo. Begin with one area: a temple and its approach streets, or a relaxing park outing.

This guide covers places within Taito Ward, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Hozomon at Sensoji01

A first-visit stop

Sensoji Temple

A path in Ueno Park03

A first-visit stop

Ueno Park

上野恩賜公園

Take a break among Ueno’s trees. This path was photographed in March 2015, rather than reporting today’s flowers. Ueno is a separate area from Asakusa.
