Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

#tokyospots Shinjuku Gyoen is a lush, sprawling oasis right in the heart of Tokyo's most vibrant district. Blending traditional Japanese, English, and French garden styles, it’s one of the city's most beautiful and peaceful escapes. During cherry blossom season, it's absolutely magical, with thousands of pink blooms creating a fairy-tale scene. In autumn, the foliage transforms into a fiery palette of reds and golds. Despite being so close to the Shinjuku hustle, the garden remains a serene retreat perfect for picnics, strolls, and photography.
