Positives:

  • Easy navigation: Flat paths and clear signposts help you move smoothly with a stroller.
  • Free park entry: No fee to enter the park keeps outings flexible and budget-friendly.

Challenges:

  • Peak crowding: Playgrounds and picnic lawns fill up on weekends, making it harder to find space.
  • Boat closures: Shinobazu Pond boats close in winter (Dec–Feb), so plan alternate activities.

Lovely park. The lotus pond was cool as well. A very nice old man stopped and talked to us, offered to take our photo, AND gave us souvenirs (a hello kitty toy and a painting done by a friend of his). I half-expected him to ask me to pay for it, but nope. 🥹 He said ueno park would be so lovely with the blossoms out, and said we were a month too late for that, and a month too early for the lotus f...

A huge park filled with so much to see and do! Even on a rainy day we loved exploring these gardens. There are temples, museums and a zoo! This is a great place to explore! I definitely recommend coming here.

It was an amazing and stunning park. Peaceful. Can breathe fresh air near the lake. You can ride a boat in the lake. The price is reasonable. Reminder, if strong winds, the ride will be stopped. Swan-shaped boat is hard one. Suggest two adults to handle. Birds like flying around the lake and they are nice and not afraid of human.

A lovely park in the city! The trees are impressive and the shrines are charming. On Golden Week, the park gets quite busy, and some sections have the tops of the trees cut, so be prepared with sunscreen! There are a few places selling ice cream along the paths and you can even visit the zoo or museums if you fancy!

Had the most beautiful time at the park, has visited to see Sakura by evening lit by lanterns. We did expect something very different, but it was still a great visit. The lanterns were lit up only on one side, not sure if it’s how it’s done everyday or the day we visited was an exception. There were many folks having a get together and having a great time, it was a beautiful walk along with Sakura...
