Ueno Park is one of the famous urban parks in Japan, with many historic buildings and cultural facilities dotting the grounds, forming an enormous cultural and artistic complex like Smithsonian in the US. The park is rich in nature, culture, and history ranging from ancient to modern times. You can find excellent architecture built during the feudal ages and modern eras while walking in the beautiful nature in season. We will visit traditional temples and shrines dating back to the pre-modern era when Tokyo was called Edo and modern buildings built in Japan's modernization times, tracing the history of the transition from Edo to Tokyo.
We will start in front of the Park Exit of JR Ueno Station and walk around Ueno Park, covering the following sites. Traditional sites: -Kiyomizu Kannondo Temple, Bentendo Temple, Ueno Toshogu Shrine, Ueno Great Buddha, etc. Modern sites: -National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo National Museum (exterior only), International Library of Children's Literature, etc. *We can go inside some of the buildings but do not enter the gallery of the museums. *Some facilities might be closed for specific reasons. In that case, I will take you to alternate sites.
