Ueno Zoo is a Tokyo essential! Here is how to make the most of your day using THE TOKYO PASS like a local.


✨ Tips for Ueno Zoo:

  •  The Hidden Oasis: Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a space that feels like a whole other world. It’s a tranquil oasis where you can relax and enjoy the exhibits at your leisure.
  • History Meets Nature: Don't miss the Five-Storied Pagoda and Kankan-tei, a historic teahouse built for Shogun Iemitsu. They offer the perfect "Traditional Japan" photo op!

  • Panda-themed Treats: For a photogenic lunch, try the Takegawa Panda Bento (wrapped in bamboo!) or the Panda Milk Ice Cream at the café. They’re almost too cute to eat!

     


🛍️
Exclusive Souvenirs (Only at the Zoo!):

  • Stop by "Little Trunk" or "Petit Chameleon" for Tote bags, Tenugui (hand towels), and unique stationery. These high-quality and exclusive items, and mementos you won't find anywhere else! The original organic cotton bags designed to be reused as stylish, eco-friendly totes—are also highly recommended.

🏛️ Maximize Your Day with THE TOKYO PASS:

  • Ueno Zoo is located in the heart of Ueno Park, just steps away from the National Museum of Western Art and the National Museum of Nature and Science. With THE TOKYO PASS, you get entry to both, making it perfect for a day of seamless museum-hopping!

  • After the zoo, take a stroll through Shinobazu Pond or dive into the bustling energy of Ameyoko Market for street food and shopping.
