I have to agree with @smithinjapan and @elbowroom. I checked it out last year, and it was a jostling mess, just like a rush-hour train. There are too many other places to enjoy the blossoms that are far away from the maddening crowds.
Ha-ha. They're packed like sardines. And back in these days, I found most of the people in Ueno park enjoy drinking sake rather than sakura trees. And, yes, I'm sure they still enjoy booze, seeing cherry trees aside. LOL.

Why be jammed and crammed into such a crowded place when there are so many other beautiful places to eat, drink, and look at the blossoms??
There are a few gorgeous trees and blossoms around the corner from my house, at the nearby park, along the river and up on the hillside.
Maybe people in Tokyo have gotten so used to being crammed into the trains that they don't mind transferring that awful experience to their hanami.

You are referring to hanami aren't you?
