![How to get to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden from JR Shinjuku Station
In this video, we will show you how to get from JR Shinjuku Station to Shinjuku Gyoen in detail.
Shinjuku Station has many ticket gates, and it is common to get lost if you exit through the wrong one.
If you are going there for the first time, you can save yourself some time by watching this video all the way through and learning beforehand.
We also show you where to find tourist information centers, coin lockers, ATMs, convenience stores, and cafes on the way to Shinjuku Gyoen.
If you want a cup of coffee, there is a Starbucks inside the park, but the line is long during the cherry blossom viewing season.
We recommend that you buy one at a nearby café before entering the park.
Also, please note that you are not allowed to bring in alcoholic beverages.
(IMPORTANT)
During the Hanami season, tickets must be purchased in advance.
Please note that you need to make a reservation by specifying the date and time on the official website.
