Ueno Onshi Park's cherry blossoms are one of the first things that come to mind when thinking about Tokyo's famous cherry blossom spots. With a history of about 400 years, it is not only a representative hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spot in Tokyo, but also in Japan.

From late March to mid-April when the cherry blossoms bloom, you can see a spectacular view of approximately 800 cherry blossom trees blooming throughout the park. Every year during the cherry blossom season, a cherry blossom festival is held, various events are conducted, and food stalls are set up, creating a bustling atmosphere.

During the daytime, visitors can stroll through the park in the early spring sunshine, gazing at the rows of misty cherry trees bathed in the glorious sunlight. At night, the flowers illuminated by paper lanterns float in pale pink, creating a mysterious spectacle.

A visit to Ueno Onshi Park during cherry blossom season is a 360-degree photogenic way to enjoy spring in Japan.
