Not sure why this joint is rated the no.1 thing to do in Tokyo??? is it because the cherry blossom season has just been? It's a very pretty park but just a park really. More

Very pretty, quiet but quite crowded on the weekends. A nice break from the craziness of Shinjuku central. More

I've been to Shinjuku Gyoen Garden on several instances, the best time maybe during spring (because of the cherry blossoms) but each season brings something different... that is why I never get tired of visiting this park. The park is divided into three - Japanese Traditional, English Landscape and French Formal gardens. My favorite is the French Formal where roses... More

A very good spot to just relax and enjoy a very nice garden...especially on cherry blossom season. We went there in mid April and still can see many cherry trees in bloom...so pretty and beautiful. A lot of people still enjoy Hanami with friends and families, and a lot of school children too.. A very heart-warming experience one can not... More

One of the best manicured parks I've ever seen. There's an admission charge, and the place closes by 5pm, so there are no homeless people here. Its a fantastic place to go anytime of year, but especially during the cherry blossom season in early April. More

Nice place to spend an afternoon. I was there the first day of Cherry Blossoom festival and the weather was cold and somewhat rainy and cherry blossoms were late this year, but it was still pretty. Good place to go for a nice walk. A little crowded. Good place to do some photography More
