In Ueno are some of Tokyo's best-loved tourist attractions, plus the area is wonderfully located for getting out and seeing the rest of Tokyo..
There is no admission fee to enter Ueno Park, but the various facilities have modest admissions fees (many are around 600 yen).
Most museums and other facilities open at 9:00 or 9:30 and close between 16:00 and 17:30, and most are closed completely on Mondays..
