The bustling centre of Shinjuku is the closest thing Tokyo has to a "downtown". Centred around the world`s largest train station, which swallows and spits out 2 million people every day, Shinjuku is the unmissble beating heart of the metropolis.
Like much of Tokyo its thin on "sights" but rich in experiences. The surprises start almost immediately. Starting from the East Gate of the train station, head under the little passageway directly to the left and you`ll come up in the area known as "P*ss Alley" - this little block, in the heart of the busiest district in one of the world`s busiest cities, has preserved a ramshackle little labyrinth of smoky bars, and down at heel restaurants untouched since the 1950s. Garish decorations hang over the streets, and the smell of yakitori fills the air. Local salarymen sit for an afterwork beer. Atmospheric.
Kabukicho- a 5 minute walk down buzzing streets of neon, hawkers and pachinko parlors, is Tokyo`s notorious vice distrinct but worth a stroll if only for the vibe of bright lights, busy streets, and hookers and small time crooks from all over the world.
If you walk down the main strip (so to speak!) you`ll come to a Subway sandwich-shop - just opposite is an easy to miss but lovely spot- a quiet little alleyway lined with bamboos and trees, like a little forest in the middle of the urban jungle. Notice the laundry hanging above in the branches?Homeless people wash their clothes here. Walk up this little laneway and you`ll come to "Golden Gai" - another atmospheric quarter of tiny , postwar bars cramped together, under the shadow of the beautiful Hanozono Temple (famed for its outdoor theatre performances and its Sunday kimono market).
Linger a minute n the temple garden and then walk through its red torrii gates, and soon youre back on the Yasukuni Dorii- one fo Shinjuku`s main drags- almost a full loop back to the station!
