The Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden was built on the land that used to be the private mansion of Lord Naito, a feudal lord, also known as a “daimyo” in Japanese, during the Edo era. In 1906 it was turned into an imperial garden and designated a national garden; at the end of World War II it was opened to visitors. The 144-acre of national garden intermingles three specific design styles: Japanese traditional, French formal, and English landscape, creating one of the most complex and influential gardens of the Meiji era. Guests are welcome to tour the grounds, including the teahouse, greenhouse, and promenade as well as various restaurants.
