Enjoy greenery in the midst of Tokyo

Stars and Stripes reports on the not-so-hidden green spaces of Tokyo.

One of these highlighted parks is Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

"Nestled alongside Shinjuku’s soaring office buildings is a 144-acre park that used to be the private residence of local Lord Kiyonari Naito. Naito governed the area more than 400 years ago.

The estate served as the imperial family’s garden beginning in 1906. After World War II, it was turned into a national park."
