Ueno & Asakusa
Where my Tokyo begins.
I grew up in Negishi, an old-school Tokyo neighborhood where much of the city's traditional character and culture still remains. This is the Tokyo I know — full of history, local character, and people who truly love their neighborhood.
So I’m not going to show you everything. I’ll just share my favorites around this area.
