The Ueno Sakura Festival has always been a popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo. Once cherry blossom season arrives, the entire park has such a great atmosphere! Walking along the cherry blossom avenue, with trees in full bloom on both sides, the soft pink scenery is truly beautiful. It’s no wonder it attracts so many visitors every year.
Besides viewing the cherry blossoms, there are also quite a few food stalls where you can browse and eat while enjoying the lively festival atmosphere of Japan’s cherry blossom season. Sitting under the cherry trees, eating and chatting while watching the blossoms sway in the breeze, really makes it feel like spring.
The cherry blossoms are beautiful during the day, and after dusk, the atmosphere becomes even livelier. If it’s your first time viewing cherry blossoms in Tokyo, Ueno Park is definitely worth adding to your itinerary so you can experience this seasonal tradition in Japan!
