From Ueno Station to Takeya

Takeya is a well-known discount department store in the Ueno area, loved for its incredible variety of products available at affordable prices.

The simplest and clearest way to get from Ueno Station to Takeya is to walk along Showa Dori Street. Takeya is easy to distinguish by its lilac building exterior.

The notable feature along this route is an elevated road above the street, which serves as the most prominent landmark. Below is a detailed walking route description:

1. Depart from JR Ueno Station toward Showa Dori

When you arrive at Ueno Station (JR or Shinkansen), it is recommended to exit from the Central Gate (Chuo ticket gate).

After passing through the ticket gate, turn left and walk straight, then take the escalator up to the large bridge in front of the station.

After reaching the large bridge, you will see a large red art installation. At this point, you need to transfer from the art installation to the passage on the right and head toward the stairs in front of the APA HOTEL.

Descending the stairs and walking along Showa Dori, you will see the elevated structure above the road.

This elevated highway is a distinctive feature of Showa Dori, and walking beneath the elevated road along the sidewalk will lead you in the direction of Okachimachi and Takeya.

If you are taking the Tokyo subway, use Exit 3 to get to ground level. Once outside, you will be on Showa Dori, so just walk straight ahead.

2. Near Naka-Okachimachi Station, continue toward Takeya

Continuing along Showa Dori and walking straight ahead for about 10 to 12 minutes, you will reach the area near Naka-Okachimachi Station, where you will notice some more prominent buildings on the east side of the road.

Among them, some signboards are purple, indicating Takeya.

The signboards are very easy to recognize, so you can immediately find the entrance to Takeya.

Inside Takeya, there is a wide variety of products, including clothing, miscellaneous goods, cosmetics, and more. It is a popular shopping destination for both locals and tourists.

If you get tired from walking, you can also take a break at a nearby restaurant before continuing your exploration.
