Shinjuku · Entertainment
Kabukicho
歌舞伎町
Tokyo's biggest entertainment district, a dense neon corridor of restaurants, arcades, theatres and bars east of Shinjuku Station.
Why visit
It is the neon Tokyo of film and photography — worth walking for the atmosphere and the Godzilla head above the Toho cinema.
Practical tips
- •Stick to the main streets at night and ignore touts approaching you.
- •The Godzilla head emerges from the Hotel Gracery near the Kabukicho gate.
