Description
Ueno Park is one of Tokyo's most popular parks to witness the famed cherry blossoms and celebrate hanami; it was developed on land that once belonged to Kan'ei-ji and features a small lake called the Shinobazu Pond. It is also home to a zoo and several of the main museums and cultural institutions in the city, including the National Museum of Nature and Science, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, the National Museum of Western Art, the Tokyo National Museum, and several libraries.
Access & Transport
The park is located next to Ueno Station, one of the largest public transport nodes in Tokyo with multiple train lines and 2 metro lines (G, H). The Yushima (C) and Nezu (C) stations are also a short walk away, on the western side.
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining an exploration of the park with a visit of one of the museums and, for families, the zoo is also a good option.
Environmental & Social
Green environment that positively contributes to the quality of life of the city residents.
Conclusion
Ueno Park has plenty of attractions, that is its main strength because visually it doesn't particularly stand out as compared to some of the delightful gardens in the city and country. In our opinion, go for the content (zoo or museum) and enjoy the park as a bonus rather than the opposite.
