[2025 Shobara Attraction] Travel Guide for Ueno Park (Updated Mar)

#東京櫻花 "If you want to experience the energy of Tokyo’s hanami season, Ueno Park is the place to be! The sheer number of cherry trees creates a breathtaking pink canopy over the walkways. It gets incredibly crowded, but that’s part of the fun—locals and tourists alike gather here for lively picnics. Street food vendors add to the festive atmosphere, making it a great place to grab some yakitori or takoyaki while enjoying the view. However, if you prefer a quiet experience, come early in the morning or opt for another location. Don’t forget to check out the nearby museums and Ueno Zoo while you’re here!"

#cherryblossom2024 Fireworks, homemade boat races and a training center for professional runners Ueno Park is an extensive green area for recreation, picnics and sports. There is a sports center on site where you can train for a modest fee. It is interesting The small red gate of the temple at Ueno Pond seems to grow out of the water — this is a reference to the floating gate of the Itsukushima Temple The sports center has running tracks for 100 and 350 meters Sakura blossoms in the park in spring How to get there The park is located very close to Bingo Shobara station. There is parking for visitors in cars. Ueno Pond The park is best known for Ueno Pond, surrounded by sakura trees. In spring, during flowering, they are illuminated with paper lanterns. A small sanctuary on the shore of the pond is also illuminated and decorates the evening landscape. Summer entertainment In summer, two spectacular events take place in the park. During the fireworks festival, you can admire how they are beautifully reflected in the water. A race on homemade boats is held between local teams, who first have to build a boat "from scratch". During the race, the teams swim across the pond, trying to overtake each other. A variety of boats are involved: from simple rafts to complex structures decorated with images of famous characters.

#2024wish Ueno Park is great! It’s absolutely worth visiting. There are many interesting museums around, great sidewalks, beautiful landscapes, temples, shrines and, many times, fun events! The Tokyo University is also just around the corner if you want to take a look and/or participate in an event by the university, such as workshops, exhibitions, concerts and else. Make sure to check schedules and have fun! I wish to go back here in 2024
