Kabukicho Hopping

This is a walking tour of Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district, where you can experience the diverse charms of Japan’s largest entertainment district. One of the popular daytime routes include visiting movie theaters, batting centers, and Hanazono-Jinja Shrine, then venturing into the nostalgic Yokocho alleyways that retain the atmosphere of Showa-era (1926-1989) Japan. Alternatively, new spots like the Tokyo Shunjuku Kabukicho Tower that opened in 2023, the giant cat at Cross Shinjuku Vision, and the Godzilla head are also highlights. The Shiki-no-Michi (four seasons pathway) trail offers a peaceful respite from the bustling district, while Hanazono-Jinja Shrine, dating back to the Edo period, allows you to feel its history. Suehiro Street, home to the traditional comedy theater “Shinjuku Suehirotei,” offers a retro atmosphere. Come nightfall, immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife of the entertainment district. Experience the depth of Kabukicho, where old and new charms coexist.
