Shinjuku Gyoen — An Oasis in the Heart of Tokyo in May

If you think there's nothing worth visiting in Japan during May, think again! "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden" is a sanctuary for both city dwellers and tourists. The moment you step inside, it feels like you've escaped the hustle and bustle of Tokyo 🌿

This month marks the beginning of summer, with pleasant temperatures around 20°C — absolutely perfect 😍. Various flowers bloom to replace the cherry blossoms, such as irises, roses, and azaleas 🌺. The vibrant colors spread across the garden, making every photo spot look stunning 📸. Enjoying a picnic on the lawn with a glass of iced green tea is the ultimate way to relax 🍵.

The garden features three main zones worth exploring — a traditional Japanese garden, a romantic open English garden 💕, and a luxurious European-style French garden 🌷. Art enthusiasts who appreciate tranquility with intricate details will surely fall in love.

Just a few minutes' walk from Shinjuku Station, but it feels like you're in a completely different world 🍃✨
