Tour of Ueno Station 上野駅 [4K] | JAPAN WALKING TOURS



This is a walking tour of the inside of Tokyo’s Ueno Station, located in the northern area of Central Tokyo. There are many train lines that intersect at this station, including access to the Shinkansen bullet train. It also connects people with one of the largest parks in Tokyo, Ueno Park, which has the Ueno Zoo, Tokyo National Museum, and many other great things to see and experience.
For detailed info, check out their website: https://www.uenostation.com/
If you have any further questions or comments, please leave them down below in the comments section! And let me know what you thought of this video. I’m still getting used to the new camera so some settings were a little off and the stabilizer was a bit wonky in the mode that I was using it in. Future videos will be much better!
Thanks again for all your support and love!

    I hope you all enjoyed this tour inside of Ueno Park. I do apologize for the wonky settings when I filmed this. I was tired after my almost-3-hour live stream right before filming this, so I wasn't paying attention to the auto-white balance and exposure, as well as the wrong gimbal mode (which is why some of the footage is crooked). I just turned it on and started filming without checking. Such a rookie move, but meh… Anyways! hahaha What was the most interesting thing you noticed in the video? Any comments or questions? Let me know below! <3

    Thanks!!!! And "I luv u" lol
    It is really nice watching your walking tours there… by the way… your foot is ok?

  5. P G

    28:12 to the left 5/28 😐… anyway, Thanks for the walking tour, I might stay in that area on my next visit so I can be closer to the food scene in Ameyoko (I usually stay at Aasakusa)

  6. Rachel Myatezh

    Cory, I love you! Thank you for this video! It’s keeping me sane while I’m at work! Lol Thanks for always having such cool content and sharing so much of your time with us! 🙂

  7. Faris

    Always wondering to what's the inner side of Ueno station about, I mean more specificially. Thanks Cory to show it!

  8. Sumo Curtain

    I have very fond memories of Ueno station, so I do appreciate this tour very much. Thanks a lot 🥰

    The express and local trains having he same ticket depends on the region and train company. In the greater Tokyo area it is true for the JR lines. It was not like that for Hokkaido or the Kansai/Chubu regions when i traveled there some years ago. In Hokkaido there was even a spesific JR line where you could not use Pasmo, Suica etc, you had to pay cash for a special ticket.

    Finally got around to watch it 🙂 Cory, I love you 😉😄
    Great video once again, I love this playlist in particular! See ya xx

  12. Sea Gem

    The more I watch your walking video, there more I miss Japan. Wish we can travel again

  13. Maryland Williams

    Cory, "I love you"! Three things I would do if I ever get to Japan…ride trains, climb Mt. Fuji, and take you to dinner. Thank you for these videos. The new camera is amazing…for me it's more like actually being there as opposed to "watching"…if that makes sense!

  14. Prairie Cat Meow

    I luv you Cory! I really like the 40 minutes to an hour videos. Not too long and not too short. I'm curious if you could do a video about eating gluten free in japan. Like could you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner gluten free for a day. I wonder how hard it would be for me to find food in japan.

  15. Peter Zheng

    Did you talk into a separate mic or just talked into the osmo pocket 2's mics?
    I have the osmo pocket 1 (haven't used it in ages), but sometimes my footage were a bit crooked too haha

  17. Gregory Lawson

    Thanks for the great video of Ueno station. I take the Yamanote line 2 stops to Akihabara and change trains to the Chou line and then make my way over to Higashi-Nihonbashi area when I stay in Tokyo! I stay at that big APA Hotel right there in Higashi-Nihonbashi. Cheers Cory

    Missing Japan so much man. Can't wait to travel back there soon as I can. These kinds of ASMR, normal walking tours of stations are very reminiscent of my time there. Soon as you leave the country, you start longing for those train jingles and sounds in the stations. Great video and the quality is damn good with the pocket 2!

  26. Hiro Mizuhashi

    I miss Japan. I miss tokyo, the sound of the train passing by, the melodies, the announcement..the shops. Thank u for this vid. I hope you can also explore character street and ramen street in tokyo station.

  27. まよった

    Man, I was gonna leave this video in the background while studying my kanji but it was so interesting that I ended up just watching the video hahaha. I swear, these stations have more stuff going on that my whole city, I can see myself going on a Sunday afternoon just to kill time and not even ride the trains haha. Video quality is great too!

    I was wondering, the pamphlets at 7:26 and 17:47 are free to take with you, right? I often see "Town Work" pamphlets and small magazines alone in the middle of the station (in other station videos) and wanted to know if those are free or where to pay them lol

    Have a great day!!

  28. J. Dedx

    Love you and the vids Cory! Been lurking since you were still living in Vietnam and it’s always very relaxing to put on a tour while I draw. I really enjoy just seeing everyday life in Japan 😀

  32. N20 Games

    Nice to see the area again. I stayed close to Ueno Station when I visited Tokyo shortly before the pandemic. This was my main station to get around while I was there. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to return once things are more open again.

  35. Amanda C

    Watching this brings back memories of getting lost on the train lines in Korea back in 2002. Lol they look very similar.

  36. LizInACan

    Cory, I love you! 😂 Thanks for the dope video, dude. These are always so fun and so cool since a lot of the states don't really have many trains and I don't know what a train station looks like. I would love to just walk around a station if/when I go to Japan, like I like to do at airports lol. I know I would spend a lot of money at that gacha station!

  38. Vicki Sainty

    Cory I have been thoroughly enjoying all your vid but particularly the shop ones. Have been to l your vid countries but love Japan. You are showing us things you don’t typically get to see and do on a tourist visit. Hank you from Australia

  41. Tomi Thot

    Just discovered YouTube and you … excellent visual of Ueno station … the green train, tip about rapid trains costing the same, seeing a pharmacy in the station! Am hoping to come back and this type of video is excellent. Can plan my trip. Looking forward to visiting cities with you … checking out hidden gems and such. Good camera work, and you have a welcoming style. Thanks. Did a shopping tour with you and loved ite!

    8:05 These platforms that have the car stoppers are not used as much these days mainly because of the opening of the Ueno-Tokyo line in 2015. Before then, the Tokaido lines physical end point was at Tokyo and the trains that run on the Joban, Utsunomiya, and Takasaki lines end point was at Ueno. That is why in the past there was many more trains coming into these platforms, it was at one point a major terminal. However, the Ueno-Tokyo line made it so that these lines are connected to each other by building new connecting tracks that extend from Tokyo station. These new changes has made departures and arrivals at these dead end style platforms become less useful, since the Ueno-Tokyo line has made transferring between the lines less troublesome and is faster. As years come by, there is going to be even less trains that come. Some people say there is a chance JR will close down these platforms for good someday.

    Your videos are great!!! Thank you so much!!! Please make more and more even though I know it’s difficult to make videos like yours especially in Japan 😅

  47. Michael Stern

    Hiya Cory,love your vidios,you really give the flavor vibes of Japan thanks for ever
    For every thing,keep it up.

  48. Jemima Phillips

    Hey Cory! Nice shirt 😉 When I was there in 2018, the station was under considerable renovation and redesign, so it looks really different now. A lot of these places you show were curtained off while under construction, so it's really interesting to see how it's changed. Ueno is one of my favorite areas of Tokyo.
