Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a district in Taitō, Tokyo. The area extending from Ueno to Asakusa is part of the historical Shitamachi (literally "low city") district of Tokyo, which is often associated with working-class traditions and culture as well as their distinct accent. The district's name roughly translates into "Upper Field" in English.
The Ueno area, in the strict sense, centres around Ueno Station, which has historically been the terminus for long-distance trains bound for northern Japan, such as the Blue trains and the Shinkansen. To the north, Ueno Park stretches to the area just behind the University of Tokyo's Hongo Campus. Ueno Park houses some of Tokyo's finest cultural sites, including the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Western Art, the National Museum of Nature and Science, and a major public concert hall. Numerous Buddhist temples can also be found in the park, including the Bentendo, dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten, on an island in Shinobazu Pond. The Kan'ei-ji, a major temple for the Tokugawa shōguns, also stands in this area, with its pagoda now located within the grounds of Ueno Zoo. Nearby is Ueno Tōshō-gū, a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The International Library of Children's Literature is also in the area.
To the south of the station lies Ameya-yokochō, a street market district that evolved from an open-air black market that sprang up during the privation following the Second World War, leading towards Okachimachi. Part of Ueno has also been known as a gay village since the Edo period, when the area had a large number of gay brothels.[2]
History
On 4 July 1868, during the Battle of Ueno of the Boshin War, pro-Imperial "Kangun" forces defeated remnants Shōgitai troops near the Kan'ei-ji temple. Most of the temple was destroyed and the Ueno Park was later built there.
