Ueno Station is another stop on the Yamanote Line! From Asakusa, you can easily get to Ueno by subway which will then lead you to other stations on the Yamanote Line.
One of the reasons why we also like to use Ueno Station as a transfer to the Yamanote Line is because of this fabulous bakery! As you're finding your way up to the ground level of Ueno Station, you'll pass this bakery near the stairwell. Hokuo was popular stop for us as we stopped to buy a quick snack.
The bakery is also a nice rest from the busy subway area.
I know I already posted a blog devoted to the bakeries in Japan, but it's these little places like this that make Tokyo so special!
Every pastry we tried was so delicious. In fact, I wish I had one right now!
The kids especially liked the bread shaped like little characters!
Cute panda bears!
How can you eat this little guy?
After climbing up the stairs from the subway, walk towards the green JR signs to enter the train gates for the Yamanote Line.
It is, of course, very busy in every train station at all times of the day.
We also made a stop to add more money to our Pasmo card. There is an English language option on these machines. Notice the map of the train lines above the Pasmo and Suica machines. Don't depend on this map as there are usually lines of busy travelers all around you. You will want to have your route mapped out before you are in the station.
Make Ueno Station a stop on the Yamanote Line!
