Shinjuku

Shinjuku Station forms the core of this district, connecting multiple railway lines and managing over three million passengers through its extensive underground network daily.

The district emerged in 1634 when temples relocated to Yotsuya area, later developing into a station town called Naito-Shinjuku along a major ancient highway.

The Golden Gai district contains more than 200 small establishments across six narrow alleys, maintaining the traditional architecture of post-war Tokyo.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building provides free access to observation decks located at 202 meters height, offering views across Tokyo and Mount Fuji.

Memory Lane preserves 60 food stalls in narrow passages dating from the post-war period, serving traditional dishes in spaces fitting no more than eight customers.
