Nishi-Shinjuku

Nishi-Shinjuku, Commercial district in Shinjuku, Japan

Nishi-Shinjuku is an administrative district in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward made up of eight distinct chōme neighborhoods. The area is filled with tall buildings that house offices, government facilities, and shops.

The area was established in 1970 as part of Tokyo's urban expansion and grew quickly with the opening of the Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel. It has since become a major business and administrative hub.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Nishi-Shinjuku offers observation decks where visitors observe traditional festivals and city celebrations throughout the year.

The area connects to Shinjuku Station through an extensive network of underground passages, making it easy to move around in bad weather. Multiple entrances let visitors reach different parts of the district without going outside.

The Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower has an unusual egg-shaped design and serves as an education center surrounded by office buildings. This building stands out noticeably from the rest of the area.
