For a magical cherry blossom experience in Tokyo, a park not to be missed

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is one of the beautiful gardens in the city center, and many people go there in the spring to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms. During the cherry blossom season, a large number of cherry trees of more than ten different varieties are planted in the garden. From mid-February to the end of April, more than 400 Somei Yoshino trees surrounding the English Garden bloom in stunning beauty, turning the lawn into one of Tokyo's most popular and pleasant flower-viewing spots. In addition, there are a large number of early-blooming and late-blooming cherry trees in the park, providing a longer flower-viewing season for visitors who miss the main season. While any time during the long blooming season is beautiful here, mid-April is best if you can. When the Somei Yoshino tree grows new leaves, the pink and white petals sway in the wind, and the petals spread out like a carpet on the lawn, covering the pond. The scenery is very beautiful. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms while taking a walk, forget the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms in a wonderful space surrounded by nature. Viewing the cherry blossoms at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a wonderful experience. There are multiple entrances and exits to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. During the cherry blossom viewing period, it is recommended to avoid Shinjuku Gate and walk along the wall of the garden for 5 minutes to Okido Gate. There will be fewer people lining up there. If possible, bring some drinks and snacks with you and find a place to sit on the ground and relax! Japanese gardens are the main places for cherry blossom viewing. Compared to Ueno Park and Oda Park, it is easier to take photos with cherry blossoms in Shinjuku Gyoen because some of the cherry trees are shorter, making it easy to take photos with the flowers. If you come after 10 o'clock, there will be a long queue. By the way, the park closes very early, so you can't see the cherry blossoms at night. But please remember that drinking alcohol is not allowed in the garden. Because of this, this is a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms with babies and children. -------------------------------------- 🏕️ Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden 🎟️ Adults 500 yen 📍 11 Naitocho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 🚆 Senda Kedani (stops at JR Chuo and Sobu Lines) 🚇 Shinjuku Gyoenmae (Marunouchi Line), National Stadium (Oedo Line), Shinjuku Sanchome (Marunouchi Line, Fukutoshin Line, Shinjuku Line) #Must-visit check-in spots in Japan #Japanese cherry blossom season #Best places to enjoy cherry blossoms #Tokyo cherry blossom viewing #Tokyo Shinjuku #Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden #Under the cherry blossom trees
