Shinjuku Gyoen

Tokyo residents enjoy making the most of open spaces on a sunny Sunday.  Shinjuku-gyoen National Garden is 53 hectare park in a densely populated, neon light, bustling area of Shinjuku.

The extensive gardens feature glades of maples and cherry and plum blossom trees along with a greenhouse, an English landscape garden, a Japanese Traditional garden and a French formal garden.  The pruning (Sue) in the French gardens with both exact and extreme.  The branches on the tall sycamores were loped, the azaleas and camellias were trimmed into balls, the hedges were straight and the roses neatly pruned for spring flowering.
