Shinjuku station is used by more than 3.6 million people every day, and its number is registered with Guinness record. The big city where many people come and go has evolved with the times, and it has many different attractions. For example, we recommend people who want to see the lively city, to go shopping, to try Japanese food, or those who want to spend a relaxing time in nature. See the highlights of Shinjuku, from retro scenery that feels history to glimmering neon lights full of people. Shinjuku is sometimes said that it is difficult to stroll around the area even for Japanese people living in Tokyo, but you can get around efficiently with your tour guide!
