Tokyo's Ueno Park air quality reflects the 53-hectare cultural landmark park in Taito, with vehicle traffic on Route 4 Shinobazu Dori and the surrounding concentrated museum and zoo visitor traffic contributing local sources. The park's extensive cherry blossom and woodland canopy provides natural filtration, while the surrounding inner Tokyo density and the Ueno Station transport hub's concentrated traffic maintain moderate to elevated readings in the park perimeter areas throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Ueno Park right now?

On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Ueno Park is medium. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 43.9/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 43.9/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Ueno Park?

People in Ueno Park tend to notice reduced air quality when cedar and cypress pollen peaks, or because of vehicle traffic on Route 4 Shinobazu Dori and the surrounding concentrated museum and zoo visitor traffic; the rest of the calendar year is generally more forgiving for air quality.

Are air quality levels in Ueno Park based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
