A Year-Round Urban Oasis: Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo

Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo is a city garden that perfectly blends natural beauty with historical culture, earning it the title of Tokyo's green gem. The garden's design incorporates three distinct styles: Japanese traditional garden, French formal garden, and English landscape garden, each showcasing unique characteristics and elegant, harmonious spatial aesthetics. In spring, the garden is adorned with blooming cherry blossoms, while in autumn, it is ablaze with red maple leaves, offering enchanting seasonal changes. The expansive lawns and clear ponds provide ideal spots for relaxation, and the tea house within the garden offers an opportunity to experience traditional Japanese tea ceremony culture. Whether strolling along the paths or sitting quietly to admire the scenery, Shinjuku Gyoen allows visitors to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoying moments of tranquility and natural beauty. It is a rare urban paradise.
