Two different stations
Keisei Ueno and JR Ueno are separate stations across the road from each other. Changing between them means leaving one station and walking to the other.
One Shinkansen gate
There is only one transfer gate between JR local lines and the Shinkansen at Ueno. Follow the green Shinkansen signs down, not up.
Ueno Park
The JR Park Exit leads straight to Ueno Park, the zoo and the museums.
