Tokyo, the lively cosmopolitan capital of Japan offers an unforgettable treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered and explored time and again when one’s travels transport one here. Of all the accommodation featured in the city, the most ideal would be a Tokyo serviced apartment outfitted with a range of modern amenities and a central location, which is what the Citadines Shinjuku Tokyo offers its guests. A convenient option of a short term apartment Tokyo has to offer its visitors, this property is an elegant option for any visit, business or pleasure. Tokyo is also home to a beautiful set of natural wonders and idyllic green spaces that offer serenity in the midst of the chaos. If you fancy a breather, visit the Shhinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a lush setting within almost 60 hectares that offers ample space perfect for rest and relaxation. Blending three formal styles of garden (Japanese traditional, English landscape and French formal), it opens up a variety of verdure ripe for exploration. Visit the traditional Japanese tea house set in the middle of this pristine park, and enjoy a stroll through paths flanked by almost 20,000 different varieties of trees. The most beautiful are the 1,500 cherry blossom trees, which reach their experiential peak during the months of March-April, which sees the air come alive with fragrant cherry blossoms. The soaring sentinels of the Himalayan cedars are an impressive sight, as they tower above the rest of the magnificent foliage peppering the park premises. Make sure to also check out the greenhouse, which consists of over 1,700 species of sub-tropical and tropical plants that are on permanent display for perpetual enjoyment.
