The cherry blossoms have just finished in Ueno-onshi-koen Park but it is still pulsating with people.
The park encompasses a vast area west of Ueno
Station, with many cultural institutions such as: Ueno
Zoo, the first zoo in Japan; Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum; Tokyo Bunka
Kaikan (Tokyo Cultural Hall); the National Museum of Western Art; the
National Science Museum; and Tokyo National Museum, all offering their
visitors recreation and relaxation.
The park was particularly crowded on this Sunday with people gathering to enjoy the open space and many activities on offer.
