21 Of The Most Beautiful Botanical Gardens In The World

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Japan: One of the most beautiful gardens in Japan can be found in Tokyo. Shinjuku Gyoen was formerly a residence of the Naitō family in the Edo era. It was turned into a public park in 1949 and has three types of garden: traditional, formal and landscape. If you can visit Tokyo in Spring, there are over 1,000 cherry trees with magnificent cherry blossoms to admire. In Autumn, enjoy the changing colors of 450 Japanese maple trees. There's a small fee to enter the garden, which is well worth it.
