My wife and I visited Ueno park on a beautiful sunlit and cool weekend afternoon along with thousands of locals picnicking and enjoying the cherry blossoms in full bloom. They all removed their shoes before walking onto the plastic tarps laid on the ground and the women left their handbags on the edges of the tarps trusting that nothing would happen. Amazing to someone who’s been a victim of theft while on trips in Europe. The Japanese believe that courtesy and respect for others is paramount and it’s a tribute to their culture that the worlds largest city with over 38 million residents can exist so harmoniously. It’s always a treat to visit this wonderful country. This park is home to several museums and a zoo, so plan at least a half day to experience it.

Lovely smaller temple in Ueno Park. Free to visit and great views from this temple. Amazing tree that has bee formed into a circle and plenty of vending machines for water.

The pond in Ueno park is filled with so much beauty. Lots of bird life, fish (huge fish) and turtles. The lotuses grow prolifically and their bright pink flowers contrast against the intense green of the leaves. Walk around the pond, although large in size it doesn't take long to see it from all angles.

A small but very beautiful temple. You can't miss this temple, with the lotus flowers growing in the Ueno Park, Shinobazu Pond in the foreground, and the temple in the foreground makes for a stunning picture. Walk across to the temple amd explore its beauty.

Their durability from earthquakes and typhoons boggles the mind considering the era in which they were built. But this one really stands out with its stacked design and height.

It is a small shrine of Medicine. As being Tenjinsama, they have plums which blooms in February and sakuras in March. The Ookanzakura is stunningly beautiful.
