As we know japan famous
with their four season climate. For tourists who want to see and be in a quiet
setting along the flowers can visit sakura park at Shinjuku Gyoen
Shinjuku Gyoen (新宿御苑)
is one of Tokyo's largest and most popular parks. Located just a short walk
from Shinjuku Station, the paid park's spacious lawns, meandering
walking paths and tranquil scenery provide a relaxing escape from the busy
urban center around it. In spring Shinjuku Gyoen becomes one of the best places
in the city to see cherry blossoms

Shinjuku Gyoen is comprised
of three different types of gardens:
The oldest is a traditional
Japanese landscape garden featuring large ponds dotted with islands and
bridges. Well manicured shrubs and trees surround the water together with
several pavilions and the Kyu Goryotei (also called the Taiwan Pavilion) which
was built on the occasion of the wedding of the Showa Emperor. A chrysanthemum
exhibit is held during the first two weeks of November in the Japanese garden
with flower displays and large, temporary pavilions erected around the grounds.
The park's other main
gardens include a symmetrically arranged formal French garden, and an English
landscape garden featuring wide, open lawns surrounded by flowering cherry
trees. The rest of the park consists of forested areas, lawns and several
structures including a restaurant, an information center and an art gallery.
There is also a beautiful greenhouse with many tropical and subtropical
flowers.

Shinjuku Gyoen is home to a
large number of cherry trees of more than a dozen different varieties. From
late March to early April, more than 400 somei yoshino trees blossom around the
English garden turning the lawns into one of Tokyo's most popular and pleasant
hanami spots. In addition, the park has numerous early and late blooming cherry
trees which provide an extended cherry blossom viewing season (mid March to
late April) for those who miss the main season.
Shinjuku Gyoen is also nice
to visit during autumn when the leaves change. There are a lot of different
types of trees that change colors around the park, however the maple trees are
particularly beautiful and can be seen in large numbers around the Japanese
garden and Momijiyama (maple mountain) on the park's eastern side. The colors
typically appear from mid November to mid December.
