# Ueno Park

Japan's first public park spreads over a wooded plateau and a pond, with museums and a zoo inside its grounds. The loop around the water stays level almost the whole way, while the hill side climbs. Cherry blossom runs for about two months here, from the early varieties to the late double-flowered ones. Swan boats cross the pond, and a frog fountain marks the plaza at the Shinobazu entrance. The park publishes its own walking route built around children.
