On the weekend the weather was way too nice to stay inside, or even go shopping, so we went exploring some new areas around Tokyo. Looking at the map we looked for the most green we could find and ended up visiting the Shinjuku gyoen.
The Shinjuku gardens are one of the prime spots to visit during spring to witness the cherry blossoms. The gardens are also high up on people’s lists for watching the autumn leaves.
These gardens are over 100 years old and used to be an imperial garden. It is made up of three main areas (English landscape garden, French formal garden and Japanese traditional garden) along with wide open spaces for people to play.
Coming to the end of autumn there was still a number of colourful trees and a number of people taking photos of them. You can only imagine how many people come to these gardens to look at the autumn leaves at their peak.
Ands its also a great place to get some exercise.
