Ueno Station (G16) is on the Ginza Line, the Hibiya Line and the JR Yamanote Line. Keisei Ueno Station, for the airport trains, is a separate station next door.
Ueno Park and the zoo: the Park Exit
GO TOKYO says that from JR Ueno Station the Park Exit leads to Ueno Park "just across the street", about five minutes on foot. JNTO says the same for the zoo: leave by the Parkside Ticket Gate and the park is in front of you, and the zoo is a five-minute walk from the station. The park was established in 1873 as one of Japan's first public parks, and the zoo, founded in 1882, is Japan's oldest.
The museums
The Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Western Art and the National Museum of Nature and Science are all inside or beside the park. GO TOKYO notes that many facilities charge about 600 yen, that most are open from around 9:00 to 9:30 am until 4:00 to 5:30 pm, and that they are typically closed on Mondays, so check the day before you plan around them.
Ameyoko
GO TOKYO places Ameyoko, a 500-metre shopping street, between Ueno and Okachimachi stations along the Yamanote Line tracks, which puts it on the other side of the station from the park.
Typing it
Ueno is only four letters, the shortest name on the Ginza Line, and 上野 in Japanese. The next stop toward Asakusa is Inaricho.
Walking times and exit names here are the ones published by the official tourism pages and agencies listed below. Big Tokyo stations are rebuilt all the time and exits move or close, so follow the signs in the station as well.
