This is Yuki Kasahara. Recently, It's keeping a nice weather in Japan, isn't it? It's neither humid nor deadly hot like the middle of summer. So, I strongly recommend going to picnic. I'm going to introduce "Shinjukugyoen" where I went during Golden Week. It is a perfect picnic place :)
Getting off at the Shinjuku station, you head toward there on foot in 10 minutes through high buildings. Let me give you a suggestion!! You are better purchasing something you want to eat or drink before entering there. You can buy them inside but they are a little expensive. So, I recommend to take your favorite foods and beverages to park. Also, DON'T forget to purchase a ticket!! It's 200yen an adult. ( junior high school or elementary school student : 50yen, infant : Free) Finally, you are ready to go into there. Walking over the beautiful grass, you must forget that here is the heart of Shinjuku. When I went to there with my lovely friends, we did a potluck party. We spent a great time chating over potluck lunch. There were lots of people in the park. For example, there were a family with children, taking a nap business man who wore a suit and necking couples lol. I swear you can spend a great time doing anything you like!! Do you want to go? Check here.
This is a map. It's a huge park.
Beautiful view of nature and buildings

Hi I'm Kotaro Yajima.
ReplyDeleteI've been there but that was more than 10 years ago, but I can remember that this park is so huge that we can't imagine it's located in the center of Tokyo. I agree it's the best season to go picnic. Shall we go sometime???
Hi This is Noriko.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there though I live in Tokyo for more than 20 years..!
I should go there, and I'm sure that I can be relaxed so much.
Hi Yuki, this is Ms. MacGregor. Thank you for your interesting post. Can you please fix your writing mistakes? You have quite a few, starting with the second sentence. And,"You get off at Shinjuku station" is the correct way. And you have several more errors. Can you find and fix them?
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is a good place for a picnic and your advice to bring your food and drinks is good too. I did that when I went there a few years ago. Even though it was a warm day, it was amazingly cool in the park - and it was quiet! As I recall, there are not many benches so it is better to take your own mat for sitting on the grass.
