Park

Синдзюку-Гёэн

You can escape the city in Shinjuku Gyoen; anime fans may know it as the setting of The Garden of Words. Admission is 500 yen. In the huge garden people lie on the lawns, sip cold drinks and look at skyscrapers — it’s somewhat reminiscent of New York’s Central Park. Particularly striking is the NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building spire against the Japanese ponds; this view also appears frequently in anime.
