Ueno Park (上野公園, Ueno Kōen) is a large public park located in the Ueno area of Taitō, Tokyo. Established in 1873 on the former grounds of the Kan'ei-ji Temple, it is one of Japan’s earliest public parks. Its creation reflected the Meiji era’s efforts to adopt and incorporate Western ideas, including the concept of public parks. Today, Ueno Park is known not only for its major museums but also for its stunning cherry blossoms, making it a popular spot for hanami (flower viewing) in spring. In recent years, the park and its attractions have welcomed more than ten million visitors annually, making it the most-visited city park in Japan.

The park sits on land that once belonged to Kan'ei-ji Temple, founded in 1625 at the “northeast demon gate” (kimon) of Edo Castle—a position believed to ward off evil. Many of the temple’s buildings were destroyed during the Battle of Ueno in 1868, part of the Boshin War, when imperial forces defeated the Tokugawa shogunate’s defenders. After the battle, Ueno Hill became the property of Tokyo, although several historic structures survived. These include the five-story pagoda (1639), Kiyomizu Kannondō (Shimizudō, 1631), and the main gate from the same era—all now designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

Although there were initial proposals to use the site for a medical school or hospital, Dutch physician Anthonius Bauduin recommended instead that the area be preserved as a public park. In January 1873, the Dajō-kan (Council of State) issued a decree calling for the creation of public parks, noting that places of historical and scenic value—such as Sensō-ji and Kan'ei-ji—should be preserved for public enjoyment. This decree came just a year after Yellowstone National Park was established in the United States.

Later in 1873, Ueno Park was officially designated, alongside Shiba, Asakusa, Asukayama, and Fukugawa Parks. Initially managed by the Home Ministry’s Museum Bureau, then by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, it later came under the care of the Imperial Household Ministry. In 1924, to commemorate the wedding of Crown Prince Hirohito (later Emperor Shōwa), Emperor Taishō gifted the park to the city of Tokyo. It was then officially named Ueno Onshi Kōen (上野恩賜公園), meaning "Ueno Imperial Gift Park," a name it retains to this day.
