Really was really beautiful but I may have chose a season (Winter) where of course most of the trees are "dead" but !! Some of the cherry trees (like 1 or 3 burgeons) were flourishing. We went around to explore the Buddhist and shinto temple. TLDR I had a really great moment and I would reccomend it !!

The Ueno walking tour was a highlight of our girls trip. Our tour leader was super helpful in making an itinerary with us. Visiting the museum that inspired Animal Crossing had been on my bucket list, and I am so glad we got to go. The shift from the peaceful park to the lively energy of Ameyoko was such a fun contrast and made us feel like locals!
