This billboard is hard to miss. It is right outside the Hirokoji Entrance of Ueno Station, next to a Starbucks.

When can you see the 3D panda?

This cheeky panda pops up on the dot every hour. It will appear, showing passerbys a pocket watch with the current time on it. After this, it will get up to a few other antics, and then wave goodbye.
