Taitō Tokyo

For travelers, Taitō is the ideal spot to experience Tokyo at its most authentic. A neighborhood where old temples harmonize with new high rises, Taitō has something for everyone. Young crowds hang around Bunkyō’s University of Tokyo, while shoppers stroll down Yanaka Ginza, a shopping street full of traditional, quirky little shops. Romantics and artists can be found in Ueno, Tokyo’s best-known cherry blossom viewing spot, while history buffs take in the temples of Asakusa.
