 This park not only has 1,200 cherry trees, but
 also features historical, art museum, shrine,
 pond, and zoo. 
 In Sakura season, many people have parties in the
 evening, so it's recommended that you go in
 daytime if you prefer a quiet atmosphere. 
 Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival) is
 held in April, and Natsu Matsuri
 (Summer Festival) is held in July-August every
 year.

 Getting There

 2-3 minutes walk from Ueno Station
 (JR, Hibiya, or Ginza Lines)
