What other travelers are saying about Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
A very large sized garden where you can enjoy seasonal flowers and plants for chilling moments. There is one Starbucks in the middle of the garden with a great view, yet it is hard to find a seat there. The garden is kids friendly and wide enough for disabilities to go around. This is a good option for a walk inside the city. The tourist centre at the west gate has exhibitions and souvenirs as well, with lots of introductions on national parks in Japan.
Absolutely beautiful park to go to especially between March and April.
Only costs ¥500 for adult tickets and one can easily spend 2-4 hours going through all the areas.
Food options are a bit sparse and pricey, but you can bring in items and have a picnic like many others do.
Sometimes you will see cosplay events and other special occasions people bring.
Would highly recommend to come early to beat the crowd as it will get very busy.
Beautiful gardens to stroll and relax a bit. We walked the whole thing and enjoyed it very much.
Full of wildlife and different kinds of flowers and gardens.
The Starbucks has incredible views too, although massive queues.
In my opinion, the perfect place to do a quick break in the middle of the day.
It’s astonishing that a garden of this size can be so perfectly maintained. It is enormous. If the weather is nice and you’re craving a park day, a true park day where one can lounge on expertly manicured grass and listen to trees rustle, this is the spot. I will say it lacks the charm and detail I’ve found in other gardens, but this may be due to the sheer magnitude of its size. Regardless, I can’t imagine this park not being satisfying for a visitor, it has many different garden styles, open space, structures, views of the skyline, facilities, and is extraordinarily clean given the volume of visitors.
Big sakura viewing park with over 1500 sakura tree are arranged. 500 yen entrance fee for the park entrance. You want to experience The stunning Cherry blossom view i must reconned this park. Its beauty is just beyond imagination. There also resting area, pond, Starbucks, lake area and picnic area. Just loved it.
