A hub of cultural attractions, Ueno Park originally served as the gardens of the Kaneiji Temple during the Edo period. In 1873 it opened to the public as one of the first Western-style parks. An island temple to the goddess of fortune and beauty floats in its pond, while the national museum and art museum stand as bastions of Japan's rich heritage. Rest up between cultural sightseeing, stop by the zoo, or visit the market under the elevated train line. In the spring, join the flocks of visitors enjoying the over 800 blossoming cherry trees.

I visited Ueno Park in peak cherry blossom season but unfortunately could only make it on a wet evening at 9pm. Despite that it was still truly wonderful and the darkness actually added another...

What a pretty place especially when the sakura blossomed! We came on 25 March evening and there's quite a crowd here. The weather was super chilly due to the drizzle throughout the day (almost). There are some stalls at that area which sells hot food and it's definitely tempting but I didn't try. Definitely worth a visit here in spring!

Beautiful park. Came for the cherry blossom season and left with so much more. Museums, a concert hall, shrines and a large Zoo will fill your day and evening with memories that will stay with you forever.
