Ueno Park was bustling with people, vendor stalls, and cherry blossoms! It was a beautiful space and I’d highly recommend to anyone. Shrines, the museums, and all right at the train station. The surrounding area also amazing.

Really was really beautiful but I may have chose a season (Winter) where of course most of the trees are "dead" but !! Some of the cherry trees (like 1 or 3 burgeons) were flourishing. We went around to explore the Buddhist and shinto temple. TLDR I had a really great moment and I would reccomend it !!
