What other travelers are saying about Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
This is a must-go for runners and families. It's a hidden gem and well worth the 500 yen entrance fee. Be aware of the entrance locations as I had trouble circling around the huge park. Never have I had so much fun just looking up at the trees and bathing in the first of nature. I can't wait to come back during cherry blossom season.
Fabulous park. Probably the best one on the west side of Tokyo. Manicured lawns. Tea house is a bit of a rip off. Entry to the park respects senior citizens. Japanese gardens and landscape are wonderfully cared for. You can walk around and take in the scenery and just forget about the whole world outside. We spent the whole day there.
the park has an entrance fee of 500 yen. the bathrooms do not have hand dryers, bring some sort of towel. there are some quiet corners of the park, if a part is too crowded keep moving you will find a nice spot eventually. while you are here you must visit the greenhouse, it alone is worth the price of admission.
A beautiful garden in the heart of Tokyo. It is characterized by a traditional Japanese garden, a formal garden and a green house. On its own, it's beauty was evident and it was a wonderful place to picnic and eat lunch or escape from the city without traveling too far. There were many locals doing just that. My only problem was that I had just come from Kyoto and saw the most beautiful temples and gardens in the world that this one fell short to those but on its own was a beautiful place to spend time. Well worth the 500 yen entry fee.
Great garden for a walk while visiting Tokyo! There's an entry fee (500yen) which you can pay using the IC card (loved the convenience!).
The park is gorgeous, great Japan gardens and walk around the paths.
