Cherry Blossom in Ueno Kouen

The national treasure "Ashura" exhibition is being held at the National Museum of Art. I went to Ueno Park where ten museums including the National Museum of Art are located.

Full or little past full blossom. They are the most common type of cherry blossom, "Someiyoshino".


Blue sheets are under flowers all over the park.

I love walking in falling petals with nice breeze.

There are several shrines and temples. There are many foreigners too. The park is one of the 13 Michelin's three-star places to visit in Japan.

Different kind of cherry blossom, "Shidare-zakura".



National Museum of Art

Ashura is the multi-faced sculpture on the pink sign under the cherry blossom tree. There was another sign saying "40 mins" of waiting line. I changed my mind and visited the National Museum of Science instead. I will post pictures later.
