Once a residence of Lord Naito, a 'damiyo' (feudal lord) in the Edo period, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is one of the best gardens in Tokyo today. Completed as an imperial garden in 1906, it was designated as a national garden after WWII. Spanning an area of 58.3 ha (144 acres) it incorporates three distinct styles, featuring the French Formal Garden, English Landscape Garden and Japanese Traditional Garden. The Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is considered to be one of the most important gardens from the Meiji era, and is well known for its natural beauty during the cherry blossom season.
This place is also known as 新宿御苑.
