Activity itinerary

Saigo Takamori Statue
  • 30m
Born in the Satsuma clan, known to all Japanese, he was the general of the government army (Eastern Expeditionary Force) and later the first army general as the original leader of the Restoration. He also participated in the Ueno War as commander of Ueno Hirokoji and Kuromonkuchi. Defeated in 1873 in the war to conquer Korea, he resigned his government post and returned to Kagoshima, where he and his private school students rebelled against the Meiji government in 1877 (Seinan War) and attacked Kumamoto Castle, but were unable to take it, dying in Kagoshima the same year. He became a bandit from a leading figure in the Meiji Restoration, but was pardoned and restored to power with the promulgation of the Imperial Constitution in 1889.
Kiyomizu Kannon-do
  • 30m
Kiyomizu Kannon-do, nestled in Ueno Park, is a serene temple with a rich history dating back to the Edo period. Modeled after Kyoto’s famous Kiyomizu-dera, the temple is known for its wooden stage that offers a picturesque view of Ueno and the surrounding cherry blossoms in spring. The temple is dedicated to Kosodate Kannon, a deity revered for blessing women with children and safe childbirth. Visitors can experience a tranquil atmosphere while exploring the temple’s beautiful architecture and surrounding gardens. Kiyomizu Kannon-do is a hidden gem that provides a peaceful escape in the heart of Tokyo.
Toshogu Shrine
  • 30m
Toshogu is a shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu as the deity ‘Tosho Daigongen’. After Ieyasu's death in 1616, he was deified and ‘Tosho-sha’ and later ‘Tosho-gu’ were created in various places. Other famous shrines are Kunozan Toshogu on Mt Kunozan in Shizuoka Prefecture and Nikko Toshogu in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. Ueno Toshogu was built in 1627 by Takatora Todo (feudal lord of Mie and Tsu), who had great respect for Ieyasu Tokugawa and also designed Edo Castle. However, in 1651, the shrine was extensively reconstructed by the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu.
