Japan | A Perfect One-Day Itinerary for Ueno Park ๐ธ๐๏ธ
At the beginning of his article "Mr. Fujino," Mr. Lu Xun wrote: " Tokyo is nothing more than this; when the cherry blossoms in Ueno are in full bloom, they indeed look like crimson clouds." Unfortunately, every time I visit Tokyo, it's during the autumn or winter, but I've unexpectedly fallen in love with the golden hues of Ueno Park. ๐ธ Ueno Park, originally belonging to the Japanese imperial family and officially named Ueno Imperial Gift Park, is the first park in Japan. If you think this is just a leisure park, you're mistaken. The park contains many historical sites and buildings dating back to the 17th century. It also houses several museums and Ueno Zoo, making it an absolutely worthwhile experience. ๐ธ ๐ Recommended Play Time: A whole day. ๐ Transportation: Take the Yamanote Line, JR Keihin Tohoku Line, JR Takasaki Line, JR Utsunomiya Line, Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, or Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and get off at Ueno Station. It's a 2-minute walk from there; or take the Keisei Main Line and get off at Keisei Ueno Station, then it's a 1-minute walk. ๐ Admission: The park is free. ๐ Suggested route: Ueno Station โถ๏ธ National Museum of Western Art โถ๏ธ National Science Museum โถ๏ธ Tokyo National Museum โถ๏ธ Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum โถ๏ธ Ueno Zoo โถ๏ธ Shinobazu Pond โถ๏ธ Shitamachi Museum ๐ธ ๐ Play tips: ๐ต Museum enthusiasts can purchase a "Ueno Welcome Passport" at the National Museum or the National Museum of Western Art. This passport-style pass costs 2000 yen and includes entry to the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo National Museum, and the National Science Museum. #Ueno Park#Japan#Taito
