Shinjuku Gyoen Park : info and guided tour

Introduction to Shinjuku Gyoen Park

Shinjuku Gyoen Park is one of Tokyo’s major gardens, located at 11 Naitomachi in the Shinjuku ward. This vast landscaped park blends Japanese, English, and French areas, making it a popular place for the variety of its atmospheres and for walks in the heart of the city.

The site originated as an old feudal residence, then as an imperial garden developed over time. Today, it preserves the idea of a large park designed for contemplation, with broad lawns, tree-lined paths, and ponds that structure the visit. Its identity rests on this balance between nature and composition.

Shinjuku Gyoen Park is famous for its floral seasons, especially the cherry blossoms in spring and the colors of the foliage in autumn. You can also notice greenhouses, bridges, winding paths, and very different scenes depending on the areas of the garden. This diversity makes it a major cultural and landscape landmark in Tokyo.
