What other travelers are saying about Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Such a nice peaceful garden. Only 500 yen to enter and there's so much ground to cover! The area with tall trees and winding paths was very tranquil. There's bodies of water and many people were painting here. The botanical garden indoors had so many interesting flowers and fauna. Well worth a visit.
A beautiful garden to stroll around, learn some plants and trees, and to relax. The garden closes at 4 pm. Entrance fees for adults are ¥500. Toilets, sitting benches and a restaurant are available in the garden. You can bring your own food and make sure to bring back your trash. I spent around 1.5 hours there.
Huge park and a nice get away from the city. You can use your Suica card for entrance so you don't have to wait in a ticket line. It has a few places to grab snacks and drinks and plenty of benches. Probably very busy in the spring due to the cherry blossoms. Pretty in the fall (December)
A great garden to take a break from all the shopping and hustle & bustle of the city. However this was not very accessible due to the lack of access from public transportation and not many people were there as a result. Though this seemed very near in maps, on reality this required quite a bit of walking to reach and get around. Also once inside food options were very few & far between that it seemed better to bring food and have a picnic inside. The main saving grace of the park is the greenhouse/botanical garden inside but that place was conditioned to be hot due to the tropical plants inside and they all had fans leading to very humid and oppressively hot conditions in the same.
Beautiful tranquil garden, 500yen entry fee for adults. 250 yen for elderly over 65 years of age. Glass house had an impressive variety of orchids and the grounds were just lovely to stroll through. Also highly recommend the soft serve shop just inside the main entrance (Shinjuku side).
