Shinjuku Station
The excitement of Shinjuku is the moment you step out of its station. One of the world’s busiest transportation hubs, Shinjuku Station serves over 3 million passengers daily and connects 14 major train and subway lines
Kabukicho
Step into Shinjuku’s boisterous entertainment district, Kabukicho, and explore Tokyo nightlife through its bars, capsule hotels, and neon-lit streets. Don’t miss a glimpse of a giant Godzilla peeking down below.
Shinjuku Golden Gai
At night, Shinjuku’s Golden Gai comes alive with lanterns and the clink of beer glasses as salarymen unwind in tiny yakitori stalls and izakaya. Bar-hop through the narrow alleyways and watch the city wind down.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Before the fast-paced, neon-filled nightlife begins, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a peaceful oasis that blends traditional Japanese, English, and French garden styles.
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
The capital’s central administrative hub and an iconic landmark happens to offer free public observatories with panoramic views of Shinjuku’s most iconic cityscapes.
