Day 01

Nishishinjuku, Nishishinjuku,

Nicknamed the skyscraper district, Nishishinjuku is known for its sleek high-rises containing offices, hotels, and penthouse cocktail bars. Observation decks at Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building command sweeping views over the city, while Shinjuku Central Park offers a tranquil green space with an art gallery and the centuries-old Kumano Shrine. 

Godzilla Head,

Stop by this famous Godzilla statue and take some great photos 

Kabukicho District

Busy and very different street in the Shinjuku area its very fun to walk around the hostess and love the hotel's area 

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is definitely one of the coolest things frequently visited by tourists who use the opportunity to gaze over the city center from the free observation decks. From this vantage point, you get 360-degree views of Tokyo. On a good day, you can see as far as Mount Fuji!

Tokyu Kabukicho Tower

Robot Restaurant,

Robot Restaurant features a cabaret show of flashing lights and colorfully dressed dancers joined on stage by dinosaurs, pandas, and, of course, enormous robots. This loud and colorful show is good fun and tops many lists of what to see in Shinjuku.

Hanazono Shrine

Shinjuku is well-known for its cluster of high-rise buildings and the nightlife district consisting of a large number of restaurants and bars. At the center of the busy town, there is a sacred old Shinto shrine named Hanazono Shrine. It is said it was founded before Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Edo Shogunate in 1603. In addition to the main hall, it has some other small shrines and shrine gates on the site. Hanazono Shrine holds various seasonal festivals throughout the year.

Omoide Yokocho

little bars for locals to eat and drink while chefs prepare food for you and give you Japanese jokes 

Shinjuku Golden Gai

a hidden gem that has so much old shops and bars that only take very few numbers of people
