- Japanese Online Newsletter Vol. 86 上野(うえの)
上野には何があるの。北陸・信州・信越・東北といった東京から見て北や東に向かう電車の多くは上野駅を始点としていましたが、現在その多くは東京駅まで路線が繋がって、東京駅が始点になっています。
上野駅には多くの博物館や美術館があります。「国立科学博物館」「東京国立博物館」「東京都美術館」「国立西洋美術館」「上野の森美術館」「東京文化会館」などです。また上野には「上野動物園」もあり、一日では見きれない程のスポットがあります。
歴史が好きな方にとっても特別な場所ではないでしょうか。将軍徳川家の菩提寺のひとつである「寛永寺」が上野にあります。もうひとつの菩提寺は増上寺でJR浜松町駅から徒歩で10分のところにあります。上野寛永寺は、1625年に東京(当時江戸)の鬼門(東北)にあたる台地(現在上野公園)に徳川幕府が平安を祈願するために建てたお寺です。 また、上野は前回お伝えしたアメ横の北側の入り口で、たくさんのお店を見て廻ることができます。大人から子供まで、朝から晩まで東京の歴史を満喫できる街です。日本に行かれたときには、ぜひ立ち寄っていただきたい場所の一つです。
Ueno
What's in Ueno? Many of the trains heading north or east from Tokyo, such as Hokuriku, Shinshu, Shinetsu, and Tohoku, used to start at Ueno Station. Now, many of them have connected their lines to Tokyo Station, with Tokyo Station being their starting point.
The station mentioned above is home to many museums and art galleries in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The National Museum of Nature and Science, the Tokyo National Museum, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the National Museum of Western Art, the Ueno Royal Museum, and the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan are all located in Ueno. If you are a fan of zoos, there is also the "Ueno Zoo". There are more places than you can see in one day.
For those who love history, there is a special destination in Ueno. One of the family temples of the Tokugawa shogunate is called Kan'eiji Temple and it is located in Ueno. Another family temple is Zojoji Temple, which is a 10-minute walk from JR Hamamatsucho Station. Ueno Kan'eiji Temple was built in 1625 with the purpose being to pray for peace. It was built by the Tokugawa Shogunate on the plateau (now Ueno Park), which is the demon's gate (northeast) of Tokyo (then Edo).
Ueno is also the northern entrance to Ameyoko, which I told you about in my last newsletter, where you can visit many stores. This is a city where adults and children alike can enjoy the history of Tokyo from morning till night. It is one of the places you should stop by if you visit Japan.
