Spring Stroll Through Shinjuku Gyoen

#springitinerary If you're hitting Tokyo in the spring, do not skip Shinjuku Gyoen, this place is straight-up dreamy. It’s like walking into a postcard. Cherry blossoms? Everywhere. You’ve got classic pink sakura trees doing their thing while people picnic under them like it’s the most magical Tuesday ever. There’s a chill mix of Japanese, English, and French garden vibes, so you kinda feel like you’re garden-hopping across continents. It’s big enough to wander for hours but not so massive that you’re lost. Bring snacks, grab a bento, or just lie in the grass and vibe. Oh, and pro tip: hit it on a weekday if you can, less crowd, more peace. It’s got that take a deep breath and relax energy in the middle of wild, busy Shinjuku. Honestly, 10/10 spring spot. Pack your camera. You're gonna want a million pics.
