🗺️ Kabukichō

Kabukichō is an entertainment district located near the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It is lined with izakayas, restaurants, and bars, as well as many hotels suitable for adult nighttime leisure and entertainment. At night, the entire area is illuminated by neon lights that shine all night long, bustling from evening until dawn, truly earning its reputation as a sleepless city. Although it was once a world-famous red-light district, in recent years Kabukichō has seen a series of unique attractions that have sparked interest. Today, it is a must-visit hotspot for foreigners traveling to Tokyo. ※ Although many surveillance cameras have been installed in the area and security has improved, it is still advised for women to avoid going out alone late at night and to be cautious of people who approach them to strike up a conversation.

The average number of visitors each day reaches up to 300,000, making it the largest entertainment street in Asia. There are quite a few dining establishments that operate until late at night. The cinema "TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku" features a Godzilla statue inside, which is a popular photo spot. It's recommended to visit and experience the attractions during the day.
