Shinjuku Gyoen

Hidden in plain sight near high end department stores and the buzzing red light districts of Shinjuku and Golden Gai, is a peaceful park and greenhouse many locals come to enjoy. We decided to spend the afternoon wandering the park and found it to be a wonderful escape from the bustling Tokyo streets.

The Greenhouse

We took a moment to explore the greenhouse which proved to be filled with exotic and lush plant life from all over Japan.
