Ameyoko Market

アメヤ横丁

Ueno, Tokyo · 東京

Four hundred stalls packed under and beside the Yamanote viaduct, shouting prices at each other — dried fish, trainers, spices, seafood eaten standing up.

Why it’s worth it

This is the least polished street in central Tokyo and the most fun. Go hungry, go late afternoon, and eat whatever is being grilled in front of you.
