Getting there

Walking

From Ueno Park's main entrance, head towards the park's central pathway. As you walk through the park, look for the signposts directing you towards the Hanazono Inari Shrine.

Exit the station and walk north for about 5 minutes, following the signs pointing to Ueno Park. Once you enter the park, follow the same pathway to the Hanazono Inari Shrine, which is about 10 minutes away on foot.

Public Transport - Bus

Another option is to take a local bus from Ueno Station. Look for bus stops near the station and take the Toei Bus # 63 towards Asakusa. Get off at the Ueno Koen stop (about 5 minutes ride), then walk into Ueno Park. The shrine is a short 10-minute walk from the park entrance. Keep an eye out for the directions leading to the Hanazono Inari Shrine.
