Last update :

Ueno Park, officially known as "Ueno Onshi Park," is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo. Managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Construction Bureau, the park spans an impressive area of 530,000 square meters and has a rich history.

As one of Tokyo's iconic tourist spots, the park attracts visitors from all over the world, particularly in the spring when its cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The park consists of Ueno Hill and Shinobazu Pond, forming diverse green landscapes and waterside views, serving as an oasis in the city.

Moreover, the area around the park houses not only the popular Ueno Zoo but also various cultural institutions like art museums. It's a perfect spot for family outings and dates.

Highlights

  • Shinobazu Pond is broken up into sections, including the “boat pond” where you can go out on rowboats, swan boats, and pedal boats, the “lotus pond” that is, as its name suggests, covered in lotuses, and the “Cormorant Pond,” which is inhabited by birds of the same name from the bordering Ueno Zoo.
  • During cherry blossom season, around 800 cherry trees burst into beautiful bloom, and tourists from all over visit to see the beautiful flowers.
  • The park is home to many cultural facilities, including museums and the zoo.

    Cherry blossom viewing here in spring is absolutely gorgeous. It's definitely one of the most popular spots for sakura in Tokyo.

    It was cloudy, so the cherry blossoms didn't really pop—kind of a letdown! I'd love to come back on a sunny day.
    Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people doing hanami, so it was easy to take photos. That was a plus!

    Ueno Park is a super popular spot with a lot of history. The whole place is filled with lush greenery, and it's also known as the Forest of Ueno~

  • 李佳祐

    The ginkgo trees in Tokyo during autumn are really beautiful.

  • Eva Chang

    Springtime at Ueno Park is just unforgettable because of the cherry blossoms! There are about 1,200 cherry trees blooming all at once. During the cherry blossom festival, you'll find tons of food stalls selling beer, yakisoba, oden, okonomiyaki, and more, so it's always lively. I never bring anything with me—just enjoy the blossoms and grab snacks from the stalls nearby. It feels so happy and lucky~
