What other travelers are saying about Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
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.
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.
Can easily spend 3+ hours here on a nice sunny day in the spring. We were here on March 27 for the cherry blossoms, there are so many kinds of cherry trees and in the entrance you are given a map of where the blossoming is happening in the park.
So much to see we were unable to complete the whole park in
This park is so big and has so much to show you. The park is in very good condition and carefully taken care of.
It is very clean and the fresh air is very nice if you need a break from work or stress. Going for a walk or enjoying the sun is very much recommended here. Even if there are a lot of people and it becomes a bit crowded, you can simply go on one of the many smaller paths and enjoy the quiet of nature around you.
We had a great time visiting this beautiful park! Even though it was quite crowded (we went on a Friday), the park is so spacious that it was still easy to walk around and enjoy the scenery. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and absolutely stunning. We especially loved the small pond—it was peaceful and picturesque. While we wished it had been a bit calmer and quieter, the overall experience was still very enjoyable. The entrance fee is 500 yen per adult and can be paid by cash or card. The ticket line moved really quickly, which was a nice bonus. There are also lockers available, but make sure to have some cash on hand as they don’t accept cards.
