Planning it alone
The trip excites you,
but prep is the hard part
- Digging through dozens of Google Maps tabs and blog posts just to plan the spots and route
- You get there and it’s closed, under construction, or off-limits on weekdays — a wasted trip
- It's inside the garden, so mind the opening hours and rainy timing — the gazebo is easy to miss
- Going solo means there’s no one to snap your photo
What's in the package
So you can tour right on arrival —
we sort it all out
- A compact pilgrimage course around Shinjuku Gyoen where Takao and Yukino met
- Shinjuku Gate · Kyu-Goryotei (Taiwan Pavilion) · Shinjuku Gyoen gazebo · Sendagaya Station
- Shinjuku Gate — The garden gate Takao often passes through
- Kyu-Goryotei (Taiwan Pavilion) — The backdrop glimpsed beyond the wisteria trellis
- Shinjuku Gyoen gazebo — The gazebo where the two sheltered from the rain
- Sendagaya Station — Yukino's commuter station
