It's was very picturesque and scenic spot.

Went to Shinjuku Gyoen again, this time to see the autumn leaves before the season ends. The park was as beautiful as I thought it would be. Some of the colors were so vibrant as well, it was really nice. The park was nice and quiet and while it was a bit chilly outside, it was a nice chance to get some fresh air. Been busy lately and haven’t been able to go out as much because of it, so this was a nice change of pace
