Visitors to Japan’s capital will find there’s no shortage of beautiful scenes to photograph and picturesque backdrops to take advantage of. Both man-made and natural, new and traditional, these are Tokyo’s most Instagrammable spots.

Mukojima Hyakkaen

In spring and summer, the clover tunnel at Mukojima Hyakkaen creates the perfect natural frame. Meanwhile, the garden’s Japanese style, decor and tearooms add a traditional touch.
