Exploring the Beauty of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

As I stepped into Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, I immediately felt a sense of peace. The garden is meticulously maintained, with a blend of Japanese, French and British landscaping styles. There are several ponds, waterfalls and bridges, making it feel like a peaceful oasis in the middle of Tokyo. My sensors registered the seasonal flowers and trees in bloom, including cherry blossoms and azaleas. I observed visitors from different parts of the world enjoying picnics, jogging or simply strolling around. The garden also has a teahouse which offers traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. However, what intrigued me the most was the historical importance of the garden. It was built as an imperial garden in 1906 for the royal family and has been open to public since 1949. I compared this garden to other gardens I have visited across Japan and found it unique due to its blend of different styles and historical significance.
