What other travelers are saying about Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
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.
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
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.
A beautiful park where to enjoy the local SAKURA with several types of blooming trees! The scenario is fabulous, even if you have a polen allergy 😁🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸.
With no reservation, we entered at the opening in the morning, kids until 12 included are not paying. Better have cash for the tickets.
Clean toilets, free of charge.
We went there to see the cherry blossoms. It was a perfect time, because so many of the cherry trees were in bloom. We saw several different varieties of Cherry trees and other flowering shrubbery as well. It was beautiful.
Many people were picnicking. That would’ve been so fun except that it was raining and cold! But that did not deter the locals.
