Shinjuku Gyoen is a sprawling national garden in central Tokyo offering three distinct landscape styles—traditional Japanese, French formal, and English—all within one serene space. Spend hours walking the grounds, picnicking on the lawns, visiting the greenhouse, or simply sitting under cherry blossoms in spring; the 500 yen entry fee is well worth it. Note that while there's a Starbucks on-site, food options appear limited, so plan accordingly.
