    **Cherry Blossom Viewing at Ueno Park (April 7-13)**: There's nothing quite like the timeless tradition of hanami, or cherry blossom viewing, in Japan. Ueno Park is one of the most popular spots for this, and it's in full bloom this week. Bring a blanket, some snacks, and your friends for a relaxing afternoon under the cherry blossom trees. Be sure to arrive early, as it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends.

Join the festivities and experience traditional Japanese culture in all its glory!

    **Art Fair Tokyo (April 7-9)**: Head over to the Tokyo International Forum in Yurakucho for this year’s Art Fair Tokyo.
