Fabulous temple in the middle of Tokyo

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is located at 11 Naito-machi, Shinjuku City, Tokyo, and covers an area of approximately 58 hectares. Its origins date back to the Edo period, when it was the residence of Naito Kiyonari, a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu. After the Meiji Restoration, it became a national agricultural experimental station, and later an imperial estate. In 1906 (Meiji 39), it was designated as an imperial garden, and in 1949 (Showa 24), it was opened to the public as a national park. 🚉Transportation: To reach Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden by public transport, in addition to the three railway lines of JR, Odakyu, and Keio, you can also take the subway.

Tokyo 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Gaienmae/Sendagaya Meiji Park Meiji Park 🌿, which was expanded and renovated last October, is located exactly halfway between Sendagaya and Gaienmae, right next to the National Stadium. The park was created as an oasis to color the city, and it has three unique plazas: Hope Plaza, Inclusive Plaza of Diversity, and Michi Plaza, which celebrates the Shibuya River. Hope Plaza is located in the center of the park and is a grass plaza that is the symbol of Meiji Park. It is made of natural grass, and there were cones standing there when I went, so maybe the grass is growing 🥺 The Inclusive Plaza is a place that creates unique experiences in both hard and soft aspects, such as play equipment and workshops themed around inclusivity and diversity. The playground equipment is unique and the little ones had a blast playing there ☺️ Michi Hiroba is an area facing Gaien Nishi Dori Street. There are step benches to sit on, waterscapes that pay homage to the Shibuya River system, and trees that change with the seasons. There are many restaurants in the park, so it would be nice to have a picnic on a sunny day 🧺 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website Meiji Park, 5-7 Kasumigaoka-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Sakura2024 #Tokyo #Gaienmae #Park #Picnic #Sendagaya
