Shinjuku Central Park is one of the most popular parks in Tokyo. It is stretches right behind the Tokyo Metropotalian Government Building. It is a nice place to watch Shinjuku Skyscrapers. This video shows what is called Shinjuku Niagara Falls.

Tamamo Pond is one of the most popular areas of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden about 10 minutes walk from Shinjuku. It is located at near the Okido Gate. The garden is said to be one of the things that show that it was once a feudal lord's landscape garden. Current garden, however, was redesigned about 100 years ago. The view from Okido Resthouse is really beautiful.
