Overview
Shinjuku is one of Tokyo’s busiest neighborhoods, filled with flashing lights, shopping, and nonstop action. It’s home to Shinjuku Station, one of the Japan’s busiest transport hubs, making it a great base for exploring the city.
Visitors can enjoy the calm of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a beautiful park that blends Japanese, English, and French styles. For a more energetic vibe, head to Kabukicho, the city’s lively entertainment district. Don’t miss the tiny alleyways of Golden Gai, packed with cozy bars that each have their own personality.
Whether you’re shopping in high-rise department stores or catching the sunset from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building’s free observation deck, Shinjuku shows Tokyo’s many sides in one place.
