Shinjuku West Entrance

Shinjuku West Entrance is one of the most vibrant areas in Tokyo. Flourishing as a post town during the Edo period, its development accelerated with the establishment of Shinjuku Station in the Meiji era. After World War II, during the reconstruction period, many commercial facilities and buildings were constructed, making the area around Shinjuku Station West Entrance a hub for business and shopping.

While predominantly a business district lined with numerous office buildings, the Shinjuku West Entrance has also seen recent developments in new commercial facilities, attracting a younger crowd. Additionally, it's home to verdant spots like Shinjuku Central Park, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the office streets.

Places like Omoide Yokocho, a nostalgic alleyway of pubs, are beloved by tourists and locals alike. Born out of the post-war chaos, this alley with its unique atmosphere has become a precious site that evokes the Showa era.
