The Rikugien Gardens (with evening illuminations) and day trips to Mt. Takao in Tokyo’s west are also recommended for those wanting to immerse themselves in nature.
Serene paths and a gentle hill for the perfect midday stroll. Designed by a high-ranking aristocrat in 1695, the traditional Rikugien Gardens will make you feel like royalty. The well-groomed grounds center around a man-made hill and pond, with a network of pathways leading to various vantages.

Takao is one of the nearest natural areas to the city at only 50 minutes by train from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station. Mt.
