Ueno Park is one of Japan’s oldest public parks, opened in 1873, and remains one of Tokyo’s most popular green spaces for cherry blossom viewing each spring.
The park grounds house the Tokyo National Museum, Ueno Zoo, Shinobazu Pond, and several shrines and temples, making it a full day’s worth of culture and nature in one location.
The park itself is open from 5 AM to 11 PM daily, while individual attractions like the museums and zoo typically operate 9:30 AM to 5 PM and close on Mondays.
