ueno park
Very useful resources for your Tokyo trip :-)
Thursday, April 10th, 2008Before I went to Tokyo, I went to my local JNTO (Japan National Tourist Organization) branch to gather all the brochures I need for my Tokyo trip. There’s sure lots of them there, and it was a real hassle to carry them all back. However, you don’t have to do that anymore. I’ve found that the JNTO website also provides downloadable files which introduces the popular destinations in Japan (I only found out after our trip, *SLAP on my head…)
Below is the download link for the toyko walks brochure, I’ve used them for all our trips in Tokyo, really handy :-)

Our Ueno Park Sakura Cherry Blossom Adventure!
Sunday, April 6th, 2008On our 4th day in Tokyo, we went to Ueno Park in the morning. From our hostel, we took the subway train from the Asakusa Stn to the Ueno Stn via the Ginza Line. The park is a very short distance from the Ueno Stn, so it just takes only a few minutes walk to reach there.
Once we reach the park, we were greeted by a weeping cherry blossom/sakura tree (cause it’s too happy to see us…) standing behind a large smooth rock with some engravings (”Ueno Park” in kanji) on it.
