When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the whole park feels softly wrapped in pink flowers, creating a truly beautiful and romantic scene.

Kenroku-en
Kenroku-en was founded and developed for about 180 years by the Maeda clan lord in Kaga, which is a strolling-style landscape garden and one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan.
The flowing water and stone lanterns in the garden have such a Zen vibe. It's perfect for a slow stroll and really taking in the atmosphere.

Ameyoko Shopping Street
The Ameyoko Shopping Street, affectionately known as "Ameyoko," stretches approximately 500m between JR Ueno Station and JR Okachimachi Station, with around 400 shops lining the street. It features a variety of businesses, including food and confectionery, clothing, general goods, and jewelry stores.
It's been a long time since I visited Japan, so of course I had to go on a shopping spree at Ameyoko when I came to Tokyo.

Gate City Ohsaki
This is a large complex linked directly to the southern ticket gate of JR Osaki Station. It features a zone of restaurants and shops spread between the basement level and the third floor, enveloped by the East Tower and the West Tower. The structure from the basement to the third floor is designed with an atrium, and events such as concerts frequently take place in the square.
I stayed at the New Otani Inn next door. The mall is connected to the hotel, and there's a supermarket on the first floor, which is super convenient. You can get to Osaki Station on the Yamanote Line just by crossing the skybridge. The rooms are typical small business hotel style, but the price is very affordable.
