Shinjuku
Busy Japanese station
Shinjuku is a major district in Tokyo, Japan, home to the world's busiest railway station and a dense concentration of skyscrapers, department stores, and entertainment venues.
The area encompasses contrasting neighborhoods—from the corporate towers of West Shinjuku to the neon-lit bars of Kabukicho.
We got lost in Shinjuku Station for twenty minutes.
