Ueno Park’s Cherry Blossom Spots 2024 - Tokyo Japan Trip【上野公園の桜のお花見スポット 2024】

Ueno Park is one of the most popular and crowded spots during the cherry blossom season in Tokyo. It is known for the 1000 cherry blossom trees lined up on the road to the main entrance.

Cherry Blossom Festival at Ueno Park is one of the most popular places to have a hanami (flower viewing) picnic or parties in Tokyo. The central pathway is lined with over 1000 sakura (cherry blossom) trees. In late March to early April is the blooming period for the flower and becomes very crowded around that time. Another reason why to have a good spot is for the illuminations at night. Over 1000 lanterns will be hung around the cherry blossoms and lit during the nights of the festival.

In Ueno Park, 800 of the cherry blossom trees were planted more than 400 years ago. The trees were planted around the Kaneiji temple grounds. After the Battle Ueno, the temple structures were almost completely destroyed, but were converted into western style park. It was later opened to the public in 1873. The present Ueno Park has many museums like the Tokyo National Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, National Science Museum, and National Museum of Western Art. Also you can find the first zoological garden in Japan known as Ueno Zoo.
