Ueno park
Ueno Park is known for its cherry blossoms, but the beauty of the winter season is also a must-see!☃️
Bird watching can also be enjoyed around Shinobazuno Pond. During this season, the park is crowded with many wild birds such as ducks.
Food and drink stalls selling food and drinks that can be enjoyed while walking around are also noteworthy.
There are also many beer and snacks that go well with beer on sale.🍻
Enjoy strolling while admiring the beautiful nature unique to winter.❄️

Ueno Park Attraction Recommendation|Toshogu Shrine
Located within Ueno Park, Toshogu Shrine may not be as grand as the one in Nikko, but its convenient location attracts many tourists and worshippers.
The shrine was built to commemorate Tokugawa Ieyasu, and thus it is quite large in scale. Upon entering the main gate, you will see splendid decorations, with every architectural detail showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient artisans. Along the path, you can admire the carvings and the nearby five-story pagoda. We felt a sense of tranquility and relaxation, surrounded by devout worshippers. If you visit Ueno Park, it is recommended to at least take a stroll around here.
Tokyo National Museum Special Exhibition: Explore Related Exhibits in the Main Building
The Tokyo National Museum's special exhibitions are held at the Heiseikan, showcasing valuable artifacts from both Japan and abroad on a seasonal basis. However, photography is often prohibited. On the other hand, the main building displays important artifacts related to Japanese history from its collection of 120,000 items, and sometimes features related items in conjunction with the special exhibitions. Most exhibits in the main building can be photographed.
This time, I visited the exhibition 'Jingo-ji Temple: The Beginning of Kukai and Shingon Esoteric Buddhism.' Photography was only allowed for the statues of Zochoten and Uchoten, but there were also Kukai-related exhibits in the main building that complemented the special exhibition. Moreover, it was less crowded, allowing for a leisurely viewing experience.
Kukai joined the 18th Japanese envoy to Tang China as a monk in 803, submitting a petition for a 20-year study period and traveling to Chang'an to study under Master Huiguo. After two years of studying esoteric Buddhism, he ran out of money and returned to Japan, where he founded Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. In the lineage of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, Master Huiguo is the seventh patriarch, followed by Kukai as the eighth.
I only knew Kukai by name, but the more I learned, the more I realized how significantly he influenced Japanese history. It was a truly enlightening exhibition.
Event Dates: Until September 8, 2024. Don't miss it.
Hours: 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays
Admission: 2100 yen (includes access to the Main Building, Toyokan, and Horyuji Treasures)

Tokyo - Tokyo Sightseeing - I went to Kiyomizu Kannon-do, a must-see tourist spot!
Tokyo Tokyo Sightseeing
There are many tourist spots in Tokyo, but
this time, I went to the Kiyomizu Kannon-do Hall of Kan'ei-ji Temple, which is a tourist spot that you definitely can't miss if you come to Tokyo, so
I'll share what it was like
📍 Kiyomizu Kannon-do Hall of Kan'ei-ji Temple
📍 1-29 Ueno Park, Taito-ku
Kiyomizu Kannon-do Hall is also famous as a power spot in Ueno, and it is said to bring many benefits such as 📍Good luck and protection from misfortune
📍Fulfillment of prayers
📍Healing from illness
📍Marital harmony
📍Fulfillment of love
and more!
A monument for the doll memorial service has also been erected next to the main hall, and many people come to worship at the doll memorial service that is held once a year.
When I visited, it was unfortunate with light rain, but
many tourists came to worship, and the cherry blossoms were in bloom, so it was nice and picturesque!
I'd like to come again when the weather is nice!

Tokyo, Japan|A good place to take pictures of cherry blossoms "Ueno Park"
#Great Places in September 2024
📝A good place to enjoy cherry blossoms in downtown Tokyo. When I went there in March last year, the cherry blossoms had just begun to bloom. It was so crowded that there was a big cherry blossom tree at the entrance. The big cherry blossoms behind me were so beautiful. Many people were walking and admiring them. Sakura and Picnic rented a pink kimono nearby. I really like the color after coloring and the original picture💕
