初めて上野恩賜公園を訪れて、その広大さと多彩な魅力に圧倒されました。東京駅からもアクセスが良く、上野駅を出てすぐの場所にありながら、園内に一歩足を踏み入れると豊かな緑と静けさに包まれ、都心とは思えないほど自然が感じられます。春には約800本の桜が咲き誇り、桜並木の下を歩くとまるで花のトンネルに包まれているようで、心が癒されました。園内はとても広く、東京国立博物館や国立西洋美術館、上野動物園など文化施設が集まっていて、1日では回りきれないほど見どころが豊富です。特に西郷隆盛像や不忍池といった歴史的なスポットも多く、散策中にさまざまな発見がありました。噴水広場やカエルの噴水、蓮の花が美しい不忍池など、自然とアート、歴史が絶妙に調和しています。また、季節ごとに牡丹や蓮、紅葉など四季折々の花が楽しめるのも魅力で、散歩やピクニックにも最適です。園内は坂道や階段も多いので、歩きやすい靴で訪れるのがおすすめです。子ども連れでも動物園や博物館で一日中楽しめ、カップルや友人同士、ひとりでも満足できるスポットだと感じました。

自然と文化、レジャーが一度に楽しめる都心のオアシス！ゴールデンウィークに家族で上野恩賜公園へ。動物園に行ったり、不忍池でボートに乗ったりと、1日中たっぷり楽しめました。広々とした園内には木陰も多く、混雑の中でもゆったりと過ごせるのが嬉しいポイント。美術館や博物館など文化施設も充実しており、子どもから大人まで満足できるスポットです。季節の花も美しく、散策するだけでも癒されます。この日は平日にもかかわらず多くの人でにぎわい、出店も並んでお祭りのような雰囲気でした。上野駅からすぐの好立地でアクセスも抜群。観光にも日常の気分転換にもぴったりの公園です。動物園の手前にはパンダの郵便ポストが。動物園にはたくさんの動物とその学習に役立つような看板やポップがたくさん。
