Ueno Yamashita 上野山下

Located around today's Ueno Station, Ueno Yamashita was one of Edo's entertainment districts
that developed from the late 18th to early 19th centuries.
The earliest entertainment district in Japan was 両国界隈 the area around Ryōgoku,
and this was then followed by 浅草寺界隈 the Sensō-ji Temple neighborhood,
上野山下 Ueno Yamashita, and 江戸橋広小路 Edobashi Hirokōji.
The area was extremely lively with street performers gathering and show tents being set up,
and people would flock to the area all year round.
