Ueno Park in Tokyo is a large and well-loved public space, attracting millions of visitors each year. The park spans about 133 acres, making it one of Tokyo's largest parks. It's particularly famous for its cherry blossoms. Every spring, thousands of people come for "hanami," the traditional viewing of these beautiful blooms.

Opened in 1873, Ueno Park holds historical importance as it was one of Japan's first public parks. Inside you’ll find many attractions. The Tokyo National Museum (1872) has a huge collection of Japanese and Asian art and artifacts. Next to it is the Ueno Zoo (1882) Japan’s oldest zoo and home to many animals, including the giant pandas.

Another highlight is Shinobazu Pond, which features lotus flowers in summer and attracts many visitors for boating and bird-watching. The park is also a cultural hub, with the Ueno Toshogu Shrine, built in 1627, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich past.

What other travelers are saying about Ueno Park

It was an amazing and stunning park. Peaceful. Can breathe fresh air near the lake. You can ride a boat in the lake. The price is reasonable. Reminder, if strong winds, the ride will be stopped. Swan-shaped boat is hard one. Suggest two adults to handle. Birds like flying around the lake and they are nice and not afraid of human.

It was a lovely park which we got to enjoy on a lovely spring day. There was also some kind of local food festival/ event on during our visit so it was good to see how the local people enjoyed their leisure time although it was sad to see a performing Monkey. Wasn’t expecting to see that in Japan. It’s a good park to see blossom trees if only there were a few out during our visit was it was mid March. Plenty of public toilets and also the park is surrounded by shrines and temples which are also worth a visit.

Lively and at the same time a peaceful park. It has some museums around it, and maybe college as well. Students can be seen sketching, a crockery exhibition was ongoing when we visited. Folks were learning skateboarding late at night as well, it was safe and had enough light.

A lovely park in the city! The trees are impressive and the shrines are charming. On Golden Week, the park gets quite busy, and some sections have the tops of the trees cut, so be prepared with sunscreen! There are a few places selling ice cream along the paths and you can even visit the zoo or museums if you fancy!

This is one of my favorite parks in Tokyo, especially during spring when it’s at its most vibrant and crowded. The cherry blossoms are absolutely stunning—sakura trees in full bloom everywhere! It’s always a joy to visit during this season. Food trucks are available around this time too, and there are a few guidelines in place to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience. The area near the pond is particularly scenic and peaceful. If you’re in Tokyo during spring, this spot is a must-visit.
