Ueno Park
Ueno Park (上野公園, Ueno Kōen) is a big public park in the Ueno section of Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan. It is in the site of an old Kan'eiji, a temple very related with the Tokugawa shoguns, who had built the temple to guard Edo Castle against the northeast. The temple was destroyed during the Boshin War.
Ueno Park was created through an imperial land grant to the city of Tokyo by Emperor Taishō in 1924. The official name of the park is Ueno Onshi Kōen (上野恩賜公園), which can be translated as "Ueno Imperial Gift Park".
A famous statue of Saigō Takamori walking his dog is in this park.
