Ueno Onshi Park covers the area from the Ueno Station Park Exit to the west side of Uguisudani Station. During the Shougitai Battle of Ueno in 1868, the hall and tower were virtually destroyed and the park was established as one of Japan's first parks in 1873. In 1924, the park was donated to Tokyo City by imperial grant and was developed as a metropolitan park. In spring, the park is filled with someiyoshino cherry and wild cherry blossoms, making it one of the famous cherry blossom spots within the capital.
