The Ueno Park in Taito_Tokyo

The park was established in 1873 on lands formerly belonging to the temple of Kan'ei-ji. Amongst the country's first public parks, it was founded following the western example as part of the borrowing and assimilation of international practices that characterizes the early Meiji period. It is the home for a number of major museums, such as the National Museum of Western Art —designed by Le Corbusier, the National Museum of Nature and Science, the Tokyo National Museum and also the Zoo. Ueno Park is also celebrated in spring for its cherry blossoms and hanami (traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers). In recent times the park and its attractions have drawn over ten million visitors a year, making it Japan's most popular city park.
