Shinjuku Gyoen


Yesterday, my lunch was a picnic in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, under this huge and powerful tree.
This garden was constructed on the site of a private mansion belonging to Lord Naito of the Edo era. It was re-designated as a national garden after World War II.

Many families enjoying a great day in the garden, doing picnics with their children, playing balls, walking, taking pictures or just observing the wonderful place God permitted of be.
The trees in the pic below are close to the Japanese Garden:

French Garden has Avenue of Plane Trees, where I just couldn't even breath how beauty was behind the lakes...

This is called "French Formal Garden":

It's the favorite garden to many photographers...

There is a big Green House, similar to Jardim Botanico in Curitiba, with some Brazilian plants, many types of flowers and cactus.
