  • Nice day
    By AliciaD, 06/15/09
    This was a great day for our family. The weather was not so hot and also rainy so the animals were actually very active. A lot of babies too! Overall a lot of animals. We also ate lunch in the cafeteria. Pretty good. Got the chicken that they said had a soy sauce taste but it didn't. Great value too! 600 yen for adult and free for under 11. Incidentally, the polar bears seemed fine and dandy to me. There area was very good size too.

  • Ueno park
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/05/07
    Ueno park is a nice place to walk and enjoy some green in the middle of tokyo.. It has several attractions surounding it such as the Tokyo National Museum, Tokyo Western Art Museum, Ueno Zoo, Tokyo Science Museum & a local shrine. Although it is a nice place it lacks some key essentials such a place to lay out your blanket and nice playground facilities.. I'd visit Ueno park mostly for the outlining activities the museums are a must see.

  • Be aware of Closing date
    By Masumi, 06/21/07
    I am origianlly from Tokyo, so I have been to Ueno many times. The zoo is one of the most famous in Japan and you can see the Pandas. There are loads of excellent musiums in the area. There are museum pass that is good for the area museums. If you are planning to go more than two museums, the pass is the best way to go. Just be aware everything is closed on Monday.

  • visied 1961 & 1962
    By john, 05/11/07
    We visited the zoo with our 2 year old son in 1961 and 1962.

    Our visits were so pleasant that we have never forgeten the experieces.
    The local children were learning English in Scool and need conversation.

    The children would follow us around the Zoo so the could practise English.

    Our trips wer very pleasant which we rember today.

    Iam now 83 and would love to trlive those experiences.

    Pleasant memories

  • Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/12/07
    Though you'll probably have to wait another year now to visit the Cherry Blossoms at Ueno Park, they are worth it. We just walked the park as the petals snowed all around us. Lovely and Fantastic. So I came to Tokyo when I did. They were early this year Early April. Walk by the little lake and cross the bridge lined with vendors selling grilled Squid, corn on the cob, and other Japanese festival fare.

  • Uneo area
    By Jerry JrW, 02/04/07
    The ueno area is a great place to visit. The park is very beautiful and a good size, the ueno zoo was great and very cheap. It is also a short distance from the train station and has some very nice stores in the surrounding area.

  • Always worth a visit
    By ANTHONY, 01/11/07
    Been to Ueno several times over the last 8 years and always find something worthwhile to pass the time and some great Ryokan (Japanese guesthouse/B&B).

    There's the great temple complex Goju just under the Zoo's monorail which if you're at the right time, you will see people practicing Kyudo (Japanese Archery) from within the dojo ...

  • Japan is so friendly and zen like
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/03/06
    I enjoyed strolling down wide well kept walk ways lined with sweet smelling blossoms and food stands with both western and japanese food stands that are resonably priced and tasty. Mcdonalds and kfc tastes better there. The scenery and awe of the temples are exquisit for their craftmanship and see why electronics are so advanced there. Strangers ...

  • SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY THERE
    By cp, 06/09/06
    Ueno is the best final destination for someone who does not want to venture too far in Tokyo. It has the shrines, zoo, museums, park itself and countless smaller activities.

    In the spring, it is famous for the cherry blosoms. In the summer, the activities. Kite flying . . . .

    It is an exceptional value and a place one would not want to miss.
