Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

新宿御苑

Shinjuku · Shinjukugyoenmae Station (Marunouchi line)

Why we recommend it

A former imperial garden combining Japanese, French formal and English landscape styles in one enclosed park, which spreads its cherry varieties across weeks rather than one narrow peak weekend, unlike the more crowded river and park spots nearby. As a national government-run garden it publishes its own English-language visiting information directly, rather than through a tour operator.

How to book: Walk-in with a same-day ticket purchased at the gate or in advance online; no reservation is required to enter, though the garden closes on Mondays.
English: yes
Price band: ¥
Allow: 120 min
Group size: Open to any number of individual visitors
Station: Shinjukugyoenmae Station (Marunouchi line)

We deliberately publish no opening hours or prices — they change. Every place links to its official site, which is the source of truth.
