Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
新宿御苑
A large formal garden blending Japanese, English and French landscaping, just a short walk from Shinjuku Station.
Why visit
It is the calm counterpoint to Shinjuku's neon — wide lawns, a greenhouse and superb cherry blossom in spring.
Practical tips
- •Small entry fee applies; closed Mondays (or the following day after a holiday).
- •Autumn foliage and spring blossoms are the two peak seasons.
