Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden Review

When I went there, I was catching up with the cherry blossoms. I saw so many cherry blossoms. The flower variety of Yuyuan is the most abundant and the color is good. On Sunday, many people come to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Sitting around the cherry blossom tree is also a scenery. The Yuyuan is very large, but clean. It feels good to walk down.

Visitors can explore traditional tea houses, serene ponds, and beautiful cherry blossom trees during spring. Shinjuku Gyoen offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and contemplation.

beautiful Sakura season. nice stroll especially in Sakura season. convenience from Shinjuku station. nice to picnic.

Beautiful and peaceful national garden, with history of 400 years. A nice garden in the center of Tokyo. I visited there on April2024, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy sakura. There also a big greenhouse, museum and Starbucks inside.

Walkable distance from Shinjuku-sanchome Station (4minutes walk). There was a queue to buy tickets from the machine and we belatedly realised that we could actually used our pasmo card to tap in the gantry. You just had to make sure that there is sufficient balance (¥500) in your pasmo card. The garden is huge and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. There are different types of cherry blossom trees in the garden so be sure to catch them if you are in Japan during spring.

Very pretty and popular garden in Shinjuku. It is easily accessible from train station. We were slightly early for autumn but there were some trees which have already changed colours!

A paid to enter park, if you enjoy beautifully landscaped Japanese gardens, this is a must-visit. It's popular yet large enough to host people strolling as well as those passing time enjoying the grass and garden areas.You should grab a copy of the map at the entrance and explore the different areas, including gates, ponds, bridges, lookout pavillions, bonsai trees, and greenhouse.It's easy to spend a lot of time here, and it's really nice to spend some time in this well-kept piece of nature in busy Tokyo. There's drink vending machines, some places that serve food, and a tea house in the grounds if you don't bring your own.
