Ueno Imperial Grant Park

The 53-hectare Ueno Park contains multiple museums, a zoo, temples, shrines, and a large pond called Shinobazu within central Tokyo.

Originally part of Kaneiji Temple, the land transformed into a public park in 1873 following extensive damage during the Boshin Civil War.

The Tokyo National Museum, National Museum of Western Art, and Metropolitan Art Museum form a significant concentration of Japanese cultural institutions.

Visitors can enter the park through Ueno Station between 5:00 and 23:00, with direct access to museums, concert halls, and the zoo.

Over 1,200 cherry trees line the central pathways, drawing more than 2 million people during the spring blooming season.
