I enjoyed seeing all the different museums and the setting is beautiful.

Pamela_N, Feb 2020

My tour was very informative and well thought-out. The guide spoke excellent English and came well-prepared. It was very focused on the architecture and not on the collections the museums housed, so it isn't an art or artifact exploration.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear Pam, Thank you so much for giving such a nice review. It was our pleasure to have guided you around Ueno Park, full of representative structures in modern Japan. I hope you had enjoyed the tour and appreciated the arts in the museums later. Thanks for coming to Ueno Park and joining our architecture tour! Aki
