In busy Shinjuku, you’ll find some of the tallest buildings in Toyko, as well as tons of shopping malls, bars and clubs. To escape the hustle and bustle, TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a beautiful and peaceful park in the middle of the city.

Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery is like no other picture gallery that I’ve been too.
What made it special?
Before visiting, I’d never heard of the gallery. We seemed to stumble upon it after, visiting the Japan 2020 Olympics stadium ion the making, and wandered around the car park until we found the entrance and ventured inside.
I checked on Trip Advisor, and it's currently listed as the 49th of 397 things to do in Shinjuku. That astonishes me! That there could be 48 other better things to do in Shinjuku…
I find everything about this gallery fascinating.
Let me share with you what the brochure says about the gallery.
Gaien was constructed with donation collected by an organisation of individual supporters formed to remember the virtues of the Imperial couple all through the ages.

To those who are complaining about the fixed date and time tickets... hey! isn’t it great that there never is a huge crowd obstructing your view? (I had a 11:00 ticket, got there at 11:20, which meant everyone else had already walked themselves upstairs and I had the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor to myself...yay!) To those who are complaining about how small and limited the collection is... hey! just come back in a few months when the exhibits change. Who says art has to be permanent. Maybe it was meant to be this way, so that each time you’re there you get a different experience. I LOVED the place, and plan to be back. (it does help that I live within biking distance) Be sure to check out the elevator and bathroom. Both are tiny mirrored infinity rooms.
