Traditional Ueno is known for ornate Shinto and Zen landmarks, including 17th-century Benzaiten temple, on an island in Ueno Park. Nearby, Tokyo National Museum displays Japanese antiquities, while the National Museum of Western Art houses works by Van Gogh and Picasso. Also in the park is Ueno Zoo, current home of beloved giant panda Xiang Xiang. Ameya-Yokochō is a vast open-air food and handicrafts market.
