Shinjuku Gyo-en (新宿御苑) is a large park and garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo. It was originally
a residence of the Naito family in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management
of the Imperial Household Agency. It is now a national park under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of
the Environment.

There are 20,000 trees and 1,500 subtropical and tropical plants in the Park.
