The tour guide Mr. Cui was very nice. The weather was good but unfortunately there were too many clouds and I didn't see Mount Fuji. The scenery was beautiful. I will come to see Mount Fuji next time🗻

5 to 6 minutes walk from Ueno Station, opposite Ueno Enshi Park, convenient and easy to find. Since arriving at noon on weekdays, the restaurant is large, arrive before booking in Klook payment is ok. Only $3xx per person, half price for 12 year olds. After eating, walk in the park to see the embroidery flowers, which is also very convenient to the zoo, art gallery or cultural hall.
