Question 1

新宿御苑: Stroller friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The official universal-design map says of the landscape garden that you can stay on the lawn with a wheelchair or a stroller, so you can take a stroller onto the grass. The unisex accessible toilets also say you can go in together with a stroller. Strollers are not on the list of things you cannot bring in — the vehicles on that list are bicycles, balance bikes, tricycles and unicycles, plus any trolley or cart needing 5,000 square centimetres or more of floor space. The paths around the formal garden and the Japanese garden, though, are gravel and unpaved. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 2

新宿御苑: Diaper changing table?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Eighteen places, in the toilets around the garden and in the nursing rooms. Fathers can use them too: there are changing tables in the men's toilets — two each in the men's and women's at the Shinjuku Gate and behind the restaurant, two women's and one men's beside the Starbucks, and one each beside Shotentei, at Gotenyama, at the Okido Gate and at the car park — and also inside the unisex accessible toilets. At the Information Centre there is one, in the women's toilet only. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 3

新宿御苑: Diaper disposal bin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The garden says it has bins for disposable nappies. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 4

新宿御苑: Nursing space?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Four places in the garden: behind the restaurant Yurinoki, in the women's toilet at the greenhouse, beside the Starbucks and at the Shinjuku Gyoen Museum. Only women may use them. The space beside the Starbucks has two rooms and three changing tables, and the museum has one room and one changing table; both are heated and air-conditioned. The greenhouse space takes one person. There is no hot-water supply in the nursing rooms — for formula, the restaurant helps. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 5

新宿御苑: Fathers welcome?

Accepted Answer

No. Only women may use the nursing rooms, so a father cannot go in. Nappy changing is a different matter — there are changing tables in the men's toilets and in the unisex accessible toilets. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 6

新宿御苑: Hot water for formula?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hot water for formula is handled at the restaurant. There is no hot-water supply inside the nursing rooms. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 7

新宿御苑: Family restroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seventeen wheelchair-accessible (multipurpose) toilets in the garden. Counted separately, fourteen places have a baby-keep seat for holding your child — this is the seat the official map marks with a baby-chair icon. Where they are: inside the unisex accessible toilets at the greenhouse, the Okido Gate, the Sendagaya rest house, beside the Starbucks, around the Japanese garden, at Gotenyama and at the Shinjuku Gyoen Museum (two there); in the men's and women's cubicles at the Shinjuku Gate, Mori-no-ie, behind the restaurant, around the Japanese garden, beside Shotentei, at the central rest house, beside the Starbucks, at the greenhouse, at Gotenyama and at the Okido Gate; and in the women's toilet only at the Information Centre, the Sendagaya rest house and the Kyu-Goryotei. The unisex ones say you can go in together with a stroller. Those at the Shinjuku Gate, behind the restaurant and at the car park are separate for men and women; elsewhere they are unisex. At the central rest house, beside the Kyu-Goryotei, at the museum and at the Okido Gate there are two rooms. The handrail beside the toilet is the movable type, and its shape differs from place to place. (checked 2026-08-11)

Question 8

新宿御苑: Non-smoking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The whole garden is non-smoking, electronic cigarettes included, and that covers the walking paths and the car park. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 9

新宿御苑: Crowding (guide)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The garden itself says the cherry-blossom season is very crowded, and that it may move to advance booking then, mainly on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. (checked 2026-08-08)

Question 10

新宿御苑: Stroller access notes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paved paths take a stroller and you may go onto the lawn, but the paths around the formal garden and the Japanese garden are gravel and unpaved. The official map marks steep slopes as places where a wheelchair user may need help, and says plainly that at the greenhouse a wheelchair user does need help. Three gates are in use — Shinjuku, Okido and Sendagaya (the Main Gate is closed) — and Sendagaya is the nearest one to Kodomo Hiroba, the children's field. Coin lockers are inside the gates, past each ticket window, and the large size is 41cm wide, 81cm high and 48cm deep, with an opening 36cm wide and 77cm high. The Information Centre — an information counter, an art gallery and a café space — is outside the entry gates, and its café, NATIONAL PARKS CAFÉ Under the Tree, is listed by the garden as a café, shop and free rest area. Whether you need an admission ticket to use it is not stated anywhere official, so treat that as unconfirmed. (checked 2026-08-11)
