“1st public park of Japan, located at the heart of Tokyo and one of the best places in Japan for cherry blossom festival.”

Ueno Park is one of the largest public park of Japan. It used to be the site of the Kaneiji Temple, built by the Tokugawa shogunate to protect Edo Castle from attacks by the Northeast. The temple was destroyed during the Boshin War.

Ueno Park was granted permission to be built on imperial land by Emperor Taisho in 1924. Its official name is Ueno-onshi Koen, meaning "Ueno Park, Emperor's Gift". The famous statue of Saigo Takamori walking with his dog in the park is a symbolic point of the park.

Ueno Park was established in 1876 to showcase new crafts and products to promote Japan's modern advancement, and it also paved the way for Western art to enter into Japan later.  So much so that the first escalator was installed here, right by the pond, showing the importance of the Ueno area to Japanese craft culture.

Ueno Park is one of Tokyo's major tourist attractions and a hub for Japanese art and culture. There is a walkway connecting to many atttractive places as follows:-

Nowadays, it has become one of the oldest and largest parks in Japan. It is a popular place for cherry blossom viewing, with many people flocking to the park.
