Since about 40 species of both early and late bloom cherry trees, including Yoshino cherry, are planted in Ueno Park, you can enjoy hanami for around two months from March until the end of April.

The Annual Ueno Cherry Blossom Festival is organized when the Yoshino cherrys are at their best. The park makes for one of the best hanami spots in Tokyo.
The schedule changes every year based on the bloom forecast. In 2019, the festival was held between March 21st and April 7th.
During the festival, tourists can enjoy a quaint view of cherry blossoms illuminated by bonbori (small lighting equipment made by pasting some pieces of paper) at night.
Going to hanami at night is another great idea if you want to avoid the crowds.

Ueno Park is of course lined with many stalls and a lot of tourists enjoy hanami parties while sitting on picnic blankets.
You can enjoy viewing the beautiful cherry blossoms while eating delicious food at a hanami party with friends!
