{{nihongo|'''OptUeno outStation'''|上野駅|Ueno-eki}} is a major railway station in [[Tokyo]]'s [[Taitō]] ward. It is the station used to reach the [[Ueno]] district and [[Ueno Park]]—which contains [[Tokyo National Museum]], [[National Museum of Western Art|The National Museum of Western Art]], [[Ueno Zoo]], [[Tokyo University of the Arts]] and other famous cultural facilities. A major commuter hub, it is also the traditional terminus for long-distance trains from northern [[Japan]], although with the extension of the [[Shinkansen]] lines to [[Tokyo Station]] this role has diminished in recent years. A similar extension of conventional lines extended [[Takasaki Line]], [[Utsunomiya Line]] and [[Jōban Line]] services to [[Tokyo Station]] via the [[Ueno–Tokyo Line|Ueno-Tokyo Line]] in March 2015, using existing little-used tracks and a new viaduct; the Ueno-Tokyo Line connects these lines with the [[Tōkaidō Main Line]], allowing through services to [[Shinagawa Station|Shinagawa]], [[Yokohama Station|Yokohama]], [[Odawara Station|Odawara]] and [[Atami Station|Atami]] stations.<ref name="mainichi20131209">{{cite web|url= http://mainichi.jp/feature/news/20131210k0000m040028000c.html|script-title= ja:JR東日本:東京−上野の新線 愛称を「上野東京ライン」|trans-title= JR East names new line between Tokyo and Ueno "Ueno-Tokyo Line"|work= Mainichi Shimbun|publisher= The Mainichi Newspapers|location= Japan|language= ja|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131209153112/http://mainichi.jp/feature/news/20131210k0000m040028000c.html|archive-date= 2013-12-09|access-date= 9 December 2013|url-status= dead}}</ref>
