Explore Tokyo: Shinjuku

Shinjuku is other of the 23 districts of the metropolis of Tokyo, but currently refers to just the great entertainment, commerce and shopping area around Shinjuku Station.

Guiding more than two million of travelers every day, Shinjuku Station is Japan's most busy railway station, served by six railway companies and a dozen railway and subway lines, inclusive to the JR Yamanote Line.

Nishi (West) has many skyscrapers and other high rise buildings. From afar it seems like an immensely big forest of trees without branches. East of the station is a lively quarter that revolves about one thing: party all night.
