A dream journey of Tokyo plants: exploring Kiyosumi Gardens and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden 🌷🌳

#TokyoItinerary

In this busy city, there are two fairyland-like corners that will fascinate plant lovers! Today, my spiritual journey will take me to Kiyosumi Gardens and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden to experience the beauty and wonder of nature. 🚶♂️

In the morning, I came to Kiyosumi Garden. This Japanese garden's design reflects the architectural aesthetics of the Meiji era and is surrounded by a lush pond filled with fish and turtles. Walking on the stone path, it feels like entering a small dry landscape world. The most attractive thing is the Sukiya-zukuri building that seems to float on the water, which contrasts beautifully with the Little Mount Fuji. Whether you are walking through the sea of azaleas in spring or the tranquil scenery in autumn and winter, you can't help but marvel! 🌺🐢

As the sun set, I took the subway to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. This was once the residence of the Naito family, and now it has become a green national park in Tokyo. When I entered the garden, I was instantly attracted by the diverse plants. Whether it was the cherry blossoms, red leaves, or the elegant shapes of the Japanese garden, they all shocked my soul. 🌸🍁 The shadows of the trees sway, and the calm water of the pool reflects the color of the blue sky. Enjoy this moment of tranquility with other tourists, and it feels like all the hustle and bustle of the world seems to disappear here.

In these two places full of plant colors, one can feel not only the beauty of nature, but also the inner peace and excitement. I deeply realize that no matter how the seasons change, nature can always use its beauty to awaken the emotions in my heart again. 🌍💚
