The non-profit foundation myclimate, with Swiss roots, offers three tours: one for adults, one for teens, and one for kids. The goal is to help you discover more about biodiversity, pedestrian-friendly areas and climate protection. All you need to do is download the free app and select one of the stories. The audio recording is about 60 minutes long. You can do the tour on foot, which would take about 2.5 hours, or rent a bike. For adults: Heat from the river Limmat, biodiversity and new forms of housing. For teens (over 11 years old): Mia wants to know! For kids (over 5 years old): The lizard from Zurich Central Station.

The district of Ueno functions as a major transport hub and a concentrated centre for culture and commerce. Its core is Ueno Park, a spacious public ground that contains several major institutions. These include the Ueno Zoo, the Tokyo National Museum with its comprehensive Japanese collection, the National Museum of Nature and Science, and the National Museum of Western Art. South of the station, the Ameya-Yokochō market street presents a different atmosphere. This crowded street with covered alleyways started as a post-war black market, and now features vendors selling seafood, clothing and spices.
