Ueno Zoo has nine varieties of cherry blossoms. Since they bloom at different times, from early to late, you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing for an extended period.
We will distribute maps showing the locations of various cherry blossoms, and we will also hold spring-themed events such as cherry blossom guides and bird watching.
Enjoy your spring break at Ueno Zoo, which will celebrate its 144th anniversary on March 20th.
