Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

#tokyospots Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a serene oasis in the heart of Tokyo, blending traditional Japanese, English, and French landscape styles across its vast grounds. Originally an imperial garden, it opened to the public after World War II and has since become one of the city’s most beloved green spaces. The garden is especially famous during spring for its spectacular cherry blossoms, attracting locals and visitors for hanami (flower viewing). In autumn, vibrant foliage transforms the park into a colorful retreat. With its spacious lawns, tranquil ponds, and teahouses, Shinjuku Gyoen offers a peaceful escape from Tokyo’s bustling urban energy.
