Good intro Ueno and authentic Ramen - Tour guide Usuke was great! Smart young man that was able to engage our group of varying ages. He was patient and did a good job of giving us background on Ueno park, answering lots of questions, and having discussions on a range of topics. He made the experience of ordering and eating food at an Izakayas and Ramen place seamless. The ramen felt like a very authentic local experience and was good! The food at the Izakaya had hits and a few misses. The staff at the Izakaya were great though!
