Shinjuku Gyoen (Park)

Shinjuku Gyoen is a park near Shinjuku in the west side of Tokyo. It was originally completed in 1906, but later remodeled after being destroyed during WWII. The park has approximately 1,500 cherry blossom trees, but since the park is very large the cherry blossom trees do not seem to be so numerous. Admission is 200 yen (around $2) and it is open from 9am to 4:30pm. When I went there it was during the weekday at about 1pm and it was still pretty crowded with tourists and Japanese alike enjoying the blossoming trees. There were also tons of photographers. This park happens to be my favorite. It has a lot of cherry blossom trees, but this park will still be very pretty long after the cherry blossoms have gone.
