Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is located at 11 Naito-machi, Shinjuku City, Tokyo, and covers an area of approximately 58 hectares. Its origins date back to the Edo period, when it was the residence of Naito Kiyonari, a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu. After the Meiji Restoration, it became a national agricultural experimental station, and later an imperial estate. In 1906 (Meiji 39), it was designated as an imperial garden, and in 1949 (Showa 24), it was opened to the public as a national park.
🚉Transportation:
To reach Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden by public transport, in addition to the three railway lines of JR, Odakyu, and Keio, you can also take the subway. If you take the JR or other railway lines, it's about a 10-minute walk from the south exit of Shinjuku Station.
