Bing chilling jardín, perfecto si llevas unos días en Tokyo de ajetreo y quieres una mañana tranquila. La entrada son 500 yen, el parque es enorme con vistas preciosas, tiene algún puestecillo para picar algo y las típicas maquinas que hay por todo Japón en ciertos "spot" de descanso.

Agustín Capdevila

Parque muy grande en el área de Shinjuku, extremadamente cuidado, muy silencioso y con áreas muy buenas como la de los cedros y secuoyas y el jardín tradicional Japonés. El invernadero es un lujo aunque no sea tan grande, tiene un valor de 500Y por persona lo cual es muy económico acorde al estado de los jardines.

Fabiola Valenzuela Beltrán

Para mí, el jardín más hermoso de todos. Amplio, súper cuidado, limpio, puedes hacer picnic, acostarse, áreas de juego, de todo. Pasear parece interminable. Un lugar para descansar y relajarse. Tienen que venir.
