A Sophisticated Journey Through Art and Nature in Late Summer Ueno: Making VILLA CUSTOMA Your Base

Hello, everyone. As we enter late August, a subtle hint of autumn can finally be felt in the gentle morning and evening breezes.

Ueno is a fascinating city where the nostalgic charm of Tokyo’s downtown intersects with a rich, dynamic cultural landscape. For those staying with us at VILLA CUSTOMA, we would like to suggest a refined way to experience Ueno that perfectly suits the changing of the seasons.

Satisfy Your Intellectual Curiosity in Cool Comfort

During the daytime hours when the sun is still quite strong, we highly recommend visiting the remarkable cluster of cultural institutions located within Ueno Park.

• Tokyo National Museum: Immerse yourself in an intellectual journey through the historical art and artifacts of Japan and Asia.
• National Museum of Western Art: Admire breathtaking masterpieces within a beautiful architectural space designed by Le Corbusier.
• The Ueno Royal Museum: Enjoy stimulating art experiences through highly anticipated special exhibitions.

You can spend a luxurious afternoon engaging with art at your own pace in these comfortably air-conditioned facilities.

An Evening Stroll Around Ueno Park

In the early evening, as the late summer heat begins to subside, a walk around Shinobazu Pond is truly exceptional. Feel the pleasant breeze blowing across the water and refresh yourself, a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This slightly nostalgic, serene scenery also provides the perfect backdrop for capturing memorable, beautiful photographs of your trip.

Diverse Culinary Culture and Deep City Exploring

Take a short walk towards the bustling Ameyoko area, and you will find yourself in a vibrant culinary treasure trove. From renowned local eateries to diverse international street foods, you can enjoy a dinner of your choice while soaking in the unique, energetic atmosphere that only Ueno can offer.

After thoroughly enjoying your city stroll, the chic and calming guest rooms at VILLA CUSTOMA await your return. Please take your time to unwind and heal from the day’s travels in our high-quality, private spaces.
