Shinjuku, a day spent plunging into the lights illuminating the night

#OctoberTravelSupport

Shinjuku is a must-see for any Tokyo trip. Especially at night, neon lights illuminate the city, crowds quicken, and the true face of Tokyo comes to light.

The area around Shinjuku Station is a shopping and food paradise. No matter where you go, you'll be spoiled for choice with ramen, gyudon, and izakaya lined up in any alley. Avoid rush hour and visit around 7 p.m. to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere and escape the hustle and bustle.

For a more unique experience, head to Omoide Yokocho. Open the small door and you'll be greeted by the incense-filled aroma of yakitori. Take a seat at the narrow bar and soak up the local atmosphere. A beer will melt away any travel fatigue.

Furthermore, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatory offers free nighttime views of the city, offering a perfect view of the Shinjuku skyline and the lights stretching far into the distance.

As the night deepens, Shinjuku becomes even more vibrant. This city, with its countless faces, is a recommended day trip to fully experience Tokyo's nightlife.
