About this place
Ueno Zoo is Japan’s oldest zoo, inside Ueno Park in Taito Ward, Tokyo, split into an East Garden by the main gate and a West Garden reached through the Benten Gate. The mapcode points into the West Garden, which matters if you are choosing a car park.
The zoo has no car park and recommends the train. The nearest options it lists are an unstaffed car park on the JR Ueno Station site by the Park exit (about 156 spaces, roughly five minutes’ walk to the main gate), and the Keisei Ueno Station car park, a minute from the Benten Gate on the West Garden side; both can fill early on weekends and holidays. The zoo is closed on Mondays (Tuesday when Monday is a holiday) and over the New Year, from 29 December to 1 January.

This site covers 167 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot and the restaurant you booked need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Ueno Zoo?
- The mapcode is 767 409*12, pointing at a spot in 東京都. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 35.715343, 139.768896. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
