Tokyo : Shinjuku 新宿

Shinjuku is one of the 23 wards of TOKYO, but the name commonly refers to the large entertainment, business and shopping area around Shinjuku Station.

Shinjuku Staion is Japan's busiest railway station, served by six railway companies and about a dozen railway and subway lines. It handles more than two million passengers each day.

West of Shinjuku station is Shinjuku skyscraper district, home to many of TOKYO's tallest buildings, including several premier hotels and the Metropolitan Government Office, whose observation decks are open to the public for free.

Kabukicho lies in the northeast of the station, is Japan's largest and wildest red light district, while department stores, subterranean malls and electronic shops surround Shinjuku Station on all four sides.
