🚦 Shinjuku – Tokyo’s Urban Pulse

🌿 Top Highlights
1. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
A peaceful sanctuary amid the city buzz, featuring Japanese, English, and French garden styles. A must in spring for cherry blossoms or fall for vibrant leaves. Greenhouse and seasonal beauty included.

2. Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
Take in Tokyo’s endless skyline from free observation decks open until late. On clear days you might catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji.

3. Omoide Yokocho ("Memory Lane")
Step back in time into lantern-lit alleys with around 60 micro-izakayas serving grilled yakitori, motsuyaki, and cold drinks. Cozy, smoky, and nostalgic.

4. Golden Gai & Kabukichō
Kabukichō—the neon red-light district—is vibrant after dark, packed with eateries, bars, clubs, and even the Godzilla head on the Hotel Gracery!


5. Shopping & Eats
Explore vast department stores like Isetan and Takashimaya Times Square, bargain emporiums such as Don Quijote, and street food stands dotted across the area.
