Viewing Arrangements Change for the Former Kan'ei-ji Five-Storied Pagoda at Ueno Zoo
Overview
Ueno Zoo has announced that it is changing how visitors can view the Former Kan'ei-ji Five-Storied Pagoda, located within the zoo.
The pagoda is not an animal exhibit, but it stands on the grounds of Ueno Zoo. Visitors see it as they walk around the zoo, and it is one of the places where you can get a sense of Ueno's history. Being able to see both animal exhibits and a historic structure in the same place is a feature unique to Ueno Zoo.
This announcement concerns the viewing arrangements, meaning how visitors can see the pagoda. Details such as what exactly will change and when the new arrangements take effect could not be confirmed for this article at this time.
Before You Visit
If you plan to visit Ueno Zoo to see the pagoda, or to photograph it while in the zoo, you may not be able to view it the same way as before. Check the latest information from Ueno Zoo before your visit.
Knowing in advance how the viewing arrangements have changed will also help you plan your route through the zoo. The Ueno area is home to Ueno Zoo and many other facilities, and many people explore the surrounding neighborhood as well.
