The 10 Best Traveler Resources in Ueno, Asakusa, Kanto
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

You find Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center right across from Nakamise Shopping Street and Sensoji Temple. It has a free observation deck, where you can get a good view of the neighbourhood, including the Asahi Beer Tower, Sumida River and of course the Shooping Street and Temple Grounds.

This Tourist Information Center has become my “go-to” place for maps, brochures and advice during my annual stays in Tokyo. I initially went here after arriving on the Keisei Skyliner from Narita International Airport. That’s because the center stands just outside the ticket gate, making a stop here extremely convenient. Pleasant multilingual staff stood ready to answer questions and got my visit off to a great start. Now I continue to drop by because the apartment, where I usually stay, is just a 10-minute walk away. During my current visit, I knew I could count on center staff to unravel the mystery of how to reach a restaurant in a nearby park that an on-line map had mistakenly placed in a pond. It would have been a frustrating search otherwise, because the restaurant failed to have an identification sign. The center has been renovated since last year. Its space has increased and myriad more brochures are displayed in racks. A free official Tokyo Travel Guide is available in 10 languages. And the staff remains as friendly and helpful as ever. I have rarely seen other visitors here so never experienced any wait time. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily.

Marugoto Nippon is a department store that boasts of an excellently curated assortment of food, crafts, souvenirs from all over Japan. Items tend to be on the pricier side; especially when compared to its next-door neighbor, Don Quixote; but you know you're paying for quality. If you're not in the mood to spend money, window-shopping through each of its interesting floors will still be a good use of your time! Make sure to drop by its food section on an empty stomach as a lot of the booths there offer free samples as well!
