Shinobazu Pond

Located in Ueno Park, Shinobazu Pond is a historic natural oasis divided into three distinct areas: a massive lotus pond, a sanctuary for migratory waterfowl, and a scenic boating pond. It is highly worth visiting to see the spectacular pink lotus blooms in mid-summer or to rent a classic swan pedal boat for a relaxing glide across the water. Expect a peaceful escape from Tokyo's bustle, complete with the picturesque Bentendo Temple situated on a small central island.
