I came here at sunset and the park was still packed, but not noisy at all. It is beautiful and there are lots of things to see and places to explore, so I believe it’s worth coming back to and maybe in the morning as some of the attractions nearby were closing when I arrived.
There’s a train station nearby (Ueno), so it is easily accessible by public transportation.
I loved the unique lamps! Just don’t simply pass by them, try to enjoy the artwork 👌
A fun trip to the museum/park for a special gift! 🎁
My kid wanted to grab a birthday gift for a friend at the museum today, so we drove over. Man, it was absolutely packed! 😅 Couldn't even get into the underground parking, so we ended up using the partnered lot at Matsuzakaya.
Right by the entrance, they had this amazing European-style Christmas Market event going on! 🎄 The park itself was gorgeous with all the stunning fall foliage—everyone was taking photos! 📸
This place is seriously cool: a stylish café, a zoo, art museums, and regular museums... it's such a charming and versatile park! Highly recommend checking it out. ✨
Beautiful and peaceful place in the heart of Tokyo!
Ueno Park is a must-visit — full of nature, culture, and history. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, especially during cherry blossom season. There are museums, temples, and even a zoo all within the park. Easy to reach from Ueno Station, and there’s always something interesting happening. A great spot to enjoy fresh air and experience Tokyo’s traditional side.
Convenient location, just a short walking distance from the station, the zoo, and plenty of restaurants & shops. It’s also spacious, making it a great spot for running or jogging. While it’s especially popular during cherry blossom season, the park is just as enjoyable in the summer, with its wide greenery and relaxing atmosphere.
That said, I don’t really enjoy the presence of a few loiterers in certain areas, which can make the park feel a bit less comfortable at times. Still, overall it remains a pleasant place to spend time, whether for a walk, some light exercise, or simply to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
This park is awesome.
Museums, temples, trees, birds, fountains.
People hang out; alone, with dog, with spouse, with friends or classmates, with co-worker or family, groups of tourist, perhaps in some twenty or thirty different languages...
Just chillin, conversing, thinking, enjoying..
Seems like a place where a bit of world come together..
love it..
Ueno Park is famous for its numerous cultural sites, including the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Western Art, and Ueno Zoo. It's also known for its cherry blossom trees, which draw crowds during the spring bloom. The park has been celebrated in literature, including haiku by the renowned poet Matsuo Basho.
The time it takes to explore Ueno Park can vary depending on your interests. If you plan to visit several museums and take leisurely strolls around the park, you could easily spend a full day here.
Sakura, or cherry blossoms, can be seen throughout Ueno Park in the spring. The park is a popular spot for hanami, or cherry blossom viewing parties.
Ueno is a great area to stay in Tokyo. It offers easy access to Ueno Park and its attractions, has excellent transport links, and is home to Ameya-Yokocho Market, where you can enjoy shopping and local food.
