No Photo

In the Edo period, the residence of the lord of Shinshu Takato, Mr. Naito, was located, and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden was born in the 39th year of Meiji (1906). It was built as a garden for the imperial family, but after the war it became a national park and was opened to the public. The garden, which skillfully combines French-style orthopedic gardens, English landscape gardens and Japan gardens, is a representative modern Western garden of the Meiji era and one of the few masterpieces of landscape gardens in Japan.
