Although I have visited Japan five times, I have not met Sakura season. This visit allowed me to meet with Sakura season. How can I take many and many Sakura photos in the most convenient way? This is the most important question in the planning stage. Fortunately, I found Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. I could arrive there from hotel on foot. Obviously, it is a right decision and the garden gave me an enjoyable morning.

In the first hundred years, the garden was the resident of a Japanese noble Lord Naito from 1772. The Empire Meiji received this garden from the family of Lord Naito in 1872. From the handover of garden to World War II, the function of garden were converted many times, it was used for experimental centre for agriculture, royal garden, royal farmland as well as golf course. However, all these structures were destroyed by air attacks in World War II. The garden has been opening to public from 21st May, 1949.
