Many would think that parks are best to go to during the summer. But summer in Japan often means high humidity, cloudy skies and rain. Winter is actually an amazing time to visit parks – especially Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo. The grass is essentially dead, but because it is so well maintained, it looks like a giant sheet of silk.

Looks lovely! I agree, winter’s a great time to see parks; not crowded and no chance of heat-stroke.
I used to love winter in Tokyo because of the crisp air and gorgeous blue skies! Beats the humidity.
