Ueno Park

As you walk on the grounds of Ueno Park, you will find yourself dancing over the bed of cherry blossoms (Sakura). Visitors from across the world visit during the end of March and the beginning of April to attend Hanami parties (flower viewing). During this season, 800 Somei-Yoshino trees bloom and spread a mesmerising charm. If you're planning to witness this magical season, several Japan tour packages include cherry blossom experiences in Ueno Park and other iconic spots.
