[2025 Iga Attraction] Travel Guide for Ueno Park (Updated Jun)

Iga Ueno Castle in Iga City, Mie Prefecture Iga City is also known as the birthplace of the ninja. The castle built there is a representative spot in Mie Prefecture, and has been designated as a Mie Prefecture cultural asset. Iga Ueno Castle was built by the master castle builder Todo Takatora. Its stone walls are the tallest or second tallest in Japan. The current castle tower was restored by Kawasaki Masaru in 1935, but the interior of the wooden building retains the atmosphere of the Warring States period. The ceiling on the top floor is decorated with 46 colored paper pieces by Yokoyama Taikan and others, and the view overlooking the entire castle town from there is exceptional! ! #breathtakingview #Japanesescenery #summertrip #summertrip#breathtakingview

Ueno Park in full sakura bloom is a dream painted in pink. Petals rained gently as I strolled past over a thousand cherry trees, their blossoms glowing in the spring sun. But the real surprise? The aroma of sizzling Iga-style skewers from nearby food stalls—juicy, smoky, and unforgettable. I paired mine with sweet dango and sat beneath the blossoms, sharing smiles with locals and tourists alike. It was the perfect blend of tradition, flavor, and fleeting beauty. Ueno Park isn’t just a hanami spot—it’s a feast for the senses. #cherryblossom25 made magical with every step… and every bite.

pretty cherry blossoms I love Japan

In spring, the Sakura Festival is in full swing, but in winter, winter birds and camellias await spring in Ueno Park. From Ueno Park Station to the shrine, zoo, art museum, and Hanbakyu, if you walk around, you will see that Ueno Park is truly loved by Tokyoites. It is a place where you can feel the emotions that only Ueno Park can provide, including the leisure and relaxation, and the classic busking that unfolds in the middle of the park. I also like it here★★★

Ueno Park is the largest park in the Ueno area where you can see the Japanese traditions of Tokyo!! The Japanese temple was beautiful. You can see a Japanese park with colorful colors. It felt good to see children and mothers out during the day.! If you want to feel quiet while traveling, I highly recommend you visit. #citytravel #safetravel #hotplace #Uenopark #Ueno
