[03.04.09] After spending a good 4 hours at the amazing Ueno Park, we went across the street to another famous attraction, the Ameya Yokocho Market (or Ueno flea market), for some quick shopping and snacks. You can find many Japanese local produce, seafood and those delicious fruits here at very attractive prices. The place also reminded me of those night markets in Taipei, where you can find almost any fashion apparels and accessories here! How we wish we'd spent more time here...

#207. Ameya Yokocho Market is just across the road

#208. It was so crowded even on weekday afternoon

#209. Delicious strawberries. These are very expensive here in Singapore!

#210. Giant Toro balls

#211. Chef and the plates

wah that is a lot of durians!

when i working in Japan i only saw one in a Tokyu supermarket and it cost a bomb... like close to 7000 yen!

but here it is still very expensive... that's like almost S$40-50!

These are shot at Tsukiji Market, and they are for hooking and dragging the huge frozen tuna fishes

Wonderful pix. Definitely looks like money well spent. Can't wait for my turn. 3+ months more of waiting.

[03.04.09] We only had very limited time at Ameya Yokocho Market because we had to rush back to Ginza to check out from our hotel and shift to Shinjuku area! Before bidding farewell to Ueno, here are some photos taken at the Ueno subway...
