Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

About Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

A for-pay park in Shinjuku, although there are discount annual passports available.  It is 58 hectares (143 acres) of greenery that does not seem to be part of an urban landscape. The scenery changes beginning with cherry blossom season in spring and on through the three other seasons of hot summer, cool fall and cold winter. Traditional Japanese tearooms and rest areas can be found within the park, allowing one to explore at leisure. Several entrances and exits are available so makes it easy and less fatiguing to enjoy fully.

年間パスポートもある、新宿の有料公園です。58haの広い敷地に、都会とは思えない自然が広がっています。桜の咲く季節をはじめ、四季折々で美しい姿を見せてくれます。公園内には、日本茶室や休憩場もあり、ゆったりと散策できます。入口は何か所かありますので、行きと帰りの駅を変えて通り過ぎるような感じが疲れなくていいかも知れません。
