Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Shinjuku · light · $

I come here on overcast autumn days. The light is flat and the maples make up for it. The enclosure of the Japanese section is total.

58 hectares of formally distinct garden sections surrounded by Shinjuku towers. The spatial contrast between enclosed Japanese garden and Shinjuku skyline is extreme.
