Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Covering an area of 58.3 hectares with a perimeter of 3.5 km, the garden features a harmonious blend of Japanese, French formal, and English landscape gardens. The landscape garden, in particular, is considered one of the few masterpieces in Japan. One of the attractions is the unique view of towering skyscrapers seen through the gaps in the trees, a hallmark of the urban environment.
Shinjuku Gyoen offers the enjoyment of nature throughout the seasons. In spring, around 900 cherry blossom trees bloom, making picnicking under the sakura a cherished activity for many (please note that bringing alcohol is prohibited). In autumn, visitors can enjoy beautiful fall foliage and chrysanthemum displays associated with the imperial family.
Conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from "Shinjuku" Station on JR, Keio, and Odakyu lines, it provides a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing visitors to relish in its lush walking paths and the chirping of birds. Shinjuku Gyoen provides tranquility and inspiration to those who visit, as a place where history, nature, and beauty intertwine.
