Shinjuku Gyoen is an easy walk from the heart of Shinjuku. This large park has Japanese, English and French gardens, lawns, trees and a tropical glasshouse. The Japanese garden is a traditional garden with carefully pruned shrubs, stone lanterns and bridges reflected in the ponds. Cherry-blossom viewing is popular in spring and, because they have early and late blooming varieties, cherry blossoms can be seen from mid-February through to the end of April. #tokyo #cherryblossom #garden
