You'll be spoilt for choice for museums. We went to the museum of Western art - there was a very long line at the entrance, but most people were in line for the special exhibit, so after waiting for around 20 mins in line, it wasn't actually that crowded in the permanent exhibit. Check opening times ahead of time -... More

The park was beautiful. Loved the walk through the park and visiting the zoo. There were entertainers performing. The local market next to the park and subway was also a must see.

Ueno Park has so many things to see and do that its an all day affair. Between the various museums, interesting attractions and beautiful walks between breath taking trees, you'll have a ton of great memories.

The park houses several museums. but what's interesting are those miniature temples (imitation of those kyoto temples and shrines). Highly recommended to go to visitor center office for free guided walking tour. After visiting park, nice to walk and shop along the wet market and bazaar (along the train station).

Ueno Park is wonderful. There is a big lake with water lilies and lotuses, a boat pond with rental boats, some of the best museums in Tokyo, a zoo, shrines, and lots of open space. It's comparable to Central Park and the Museum Mile in New York City. Relax and enjoy.

We have visited Japan many times but have always missed its best cherry blossum season. This time we use the Good Friday Holiday on 28 Mar to visit Tokyo hoping to catch the full bloom cherry blossum. Before departure we thought we might have miss the full bloom again as this year's season started earlier than its average. We reached... More

This park houses everything from the zoo, to large ponds, multiple large museums (Nat'l, Western Art, Science museums, etc), and shrines. Upon entering, the noise of the city disappears! Just walking the park and not visiting any museums will take an hour or two. The park, and its attractions can be an all day affair. It is directly behind the... More

My friend and I went there just to relax after a hard work. Still some sakura blossom in the park. Another day I went there again just to use it as a passage to Ueno station. Along the way there are so many things to see, the zoo, the temple, or street fair. My friend also said it is another... More

Lovely park around Cherry Blossom time, Nice to walk around.. It's great it's near the zoo, and asakusa Temple, and all the musiums and cheap shops. I don't know why though, I prefer Yoyogi. Perhaps it's the homeless that are in the area, and the fact Ueno is kind of a cheap area in general. Still there is a lot... More

My friend and I walked here because we were told there was good shopping at Ueno station. The park is nice, and clean. There are several museums and art galleries in the area along with a zoo. Great place for kids to run around, or to experience a little bit of outdoors and culture.
