And what station/area might this be? And what is it famous for?

Ameyoko is a busy market street along the Yamanote line tracks between Okachimachi and Ueno Station, the site of a black market after World War Two. The name "Ameyoko" is a short form for "Ameya Yokocho" (candy store alley), as candies were traditionally sold there. Alternatively, "Ame" also stands for "America", because a lot of American products were available on the black market.

Interesting. I always associated "Ameyoko" with American village. I never knew it stood for "candy store alley". Also, do you you about Amemura in Osaka?
