Viewing cherry blossoms in daylight is good but Ueno Park makes it even better at night! During the period of full bloom, from the end of March to the beginning of April, trees are illuminated from 5:30–8 pm, giving them a different look from daytime. The sight of blossoming trees shining against the dark background of the night is too pretty and precious to miss!

A big pond, Shinobazu-no-ike, graces the premises of Ueno Park. Another good way to enjoy cherry blossoms is from a small boat which you can rent for a fee starting at 600 yen for half an hour. Tokyo Skytree is also nearby so you can enjoy both at the same time.
