I walked into Shinjuku Gyoen on a slightly cool morning. Coming out of Shinjuku Sanchome subway station, I walked through several streets and several high-rise buildings. I was still in the noisy urban feeling, but suddenly I turned a corner and found a vast garden that was so quiet that it made people want to turn down the volume. The entrance was well-organized. After scanning the QR code to enter, there was a spacious tree-lined trail in front of me. The sun shone through the leaves, and it seemed that even the dust in the air slowed down. Shinjuku Gyoen was originally a royal garden, and later it was turned into a national park open to the public. The entire area is divided into three themes: Japanese garden, French garden and English lawn garden. My first stop was the Japanese garden. I walked around the pond, and the red leaves were reflected on the water. The maple trees seemed to be bowing to the tourists. The wooden bridge, stone lanterns and gardening were trimmed just right. One step at a time, a scene, people couldn't help but press the shutter several times. Then I walked to the French formal garden. This area is straight and symmetrical, and the arrangement is exquisite, with a sense of European court; the rose garden is particularly beautiful in spring and summer. Even if it is not in full bloom in the season, you can still feel the romance and order of the design. The English garden is the best place to sit down for a picnic or relax. With large lawns, scattered trees, and swan clouds floating in the sky, it is a rare place in Tokyo where you can "lie down and look at the sky." The greenhouse in the garden must be mentioned. Here, tropical plants from all over the world are collected, such as orchids, banana trees, cacti, etc., which can be seen. It is suitable for visiting regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy. When you walk through the wet glass house, it seems to walk into another country. I am particularly moved that although Shinjuku Gyoen is located in Shinjuku, the busiest area in Tokyo, it can maintain such a high level of tranquility and quality. Everyone whispers, does not run, and does not make noise. There are many tourists, but the order is excellent. What's even better is that the ticket is only 500 yen. Compared with other tourist attractions, the CP value is very high. You can get a lot of peace of mind for a small amount of money. For those who like animation or photography, Shinjuku Gyoen is one of the holy places for filming. Makoto Shinkai's animation "The Garden of Words" was filmed here. The bench, the corridor, and the encounter in the rain are all real. You will find that the real Imperial Garden is even warmer and more peaceful than the animation. Before leaving, I sat on a bench by the grass, watching a father and son chasing fallen leaves in the distance, and watching several girls in kimonos taking selfies by the pool, and felt an inexplicable tenderness in my heart. Shinjuku Gyoen does not require you to rush through it, it just wants you to "slow down" and use your five senses to experience the other side of Tokyo. #新宿 #新宿线 #新宿御園樱花#东京必去景点 #新宿景点
