The main aim of the trip was to see the Sakura blooms that happen during this time every year and our trip to Ueno park definitely fulfilled that straight away. Angie told my dad that the season was actually nearing the end, but it also depended on the location and climate of the area. As per Angie's suggested itinerary, I skipped all the towers and decided to stay longer at Ueno park to check out the zoo and the Natural Museum of History and Science.
As we walked to the park, the trees that greeted you were all in shades from white to a light pink. We spotted a few that were a dark pink in colour but didn't know if they were the cherry blossoms or some other species. As we were there around 7.45 am and the zoo only opened at 9.30am, dad and I decided to talk a walk down and around the lake.
The lake was beautiful surrounded by the cherry trees in full bloom, and the small temple in the middle of the lake just made for a very nice photo opportunity. Absolutely great choice to come here, and it was good we came here before the crowds started having picnics under the trees.
