Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Shinjuku Gyoen is Tokyo's finest urban park, a 58-hectare former Imperial garden combining French formal, English landscape, and Japanese traditional garden styles in a single visit. Admission is 500 JPY per adult and free for children under 15, making it exceptional value for a 2-3 hour family walk through spectacular seasonal displays. The park contains over 1,000 cherry trees for spring hanami picnics, a massive greenhouse with tropical plants open year-round (no additional charge), and spacious lawns perfect for younger children to run freely in. TripAdvisor reviewers consistently rate it as the most beautiful and peaceful park in central Tokyo. The park is a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station South Exit.
