A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of Tokyo: Shinjuku Gyoen

Introducing the national park "Shinjuku Gyoen" located in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
It is located about a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station and about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station, making it easily accessible from various lines.
This area was once the residence of the Naito family, retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Edo Shogunate. In 1906, it was inherited as an imperial garden, and since then it has been loved by many people both domestically and internationally as a park for the public, becoming a popular sightseeing spot in Shinjuku.
The vast green scenery, roughly equivalent to about 12 Tokyo Domes, in an area lined with skyscrapers is truly an urban oasis 🌳✨
The entrance is divided into three gates, and no matter which one you enter from, you are sure to fully enjoy the nature that shows the faces of spring, summer, autumn, and winter!
Especially, the Japanese garden where you can enjoy the seasonal landscapes is lively with many foreigners, featuring plum and cherry blossoms in spring, and autumn leaves and chrysanthemum exhibitions in autumn.
Picnics are allowed, but please note that bringing alcoholic beverages into the park is prohibited.
I visited in April this year, and I plan to report here again when I visit in autumn♪
Why not visit as one of your options for shopping or sightseeing?
