This is UENO station.
I found a very good website to introduce some of major
train stations in Tokyo here ---->http://www.3deearts.com/tokyo/uenoeki.html
So I don't explain this and that about the station itself.

But I was simply impressed to find the station is now
one hundred and twenty years old this year!


(this is the close look of the poster above.
The painting seems about the opening ceremony of Ueno Station)



Today it has been changed to be a modern style station
as to has a newly opened Hard Rock Cafe at a corner of the station yard.

The shop sign says UYENO-EKI as you see.
Hmm, it seems UENO is a bit difficult for English speaking people to pronunce?
"eki" means "station" in Japanese. This is very easy to say, isn't it : )
