The famous open-air market, Ameyoko, must be among the top ten things to enjoy when visiting Tokyo! Located just a station away from Akihabara and Ueno, Ameyoko Market, or more officially Ameya Yokocho, is home to almost 200 stores. These stores sell pretty much everything, ranging from fresh vegetables and seafood, to clothes, bags, cosmetics, other general goods. It even has a nice little Temple.
Now, you may wonder why the name Ameya or Ameyoko is written in Katakana? Well, after the second world war, the place was famous for selling US army goods on the black market where the term AME (アメ) was the short form of the word AMERICA (アメリカ).
