  • Wandering in Shinjuku, Tokyo

    14 September 2023, Jepun ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Walking in Shinjuku divides neatly around its station.

    The west side means business - office towers, government buildings and suited workers rushing between them. Glass elevators whisk visitors up the Metropolitan Government Building for free city views.

    East side shifts to entertainment. Kabukicho's neon marks the entrance to Tokyo's largest nightlife district. Tiny Golden Gai bars pack six narrow alleys. Omoide Yokocho offers cramped yakitori spots where smoke drifts from grills.

    The station itself, serving millions daily, spreads underground through shopping arcades and countless exits. Getting lost is common.

    Hanazono Shrine offers quiet moments between the chaos, while the famous Godzilla head watches over it all from above a cinema.

    Golden Gai is a small area, located in Kabukicho. It is composed of a network of six narrow alleys, connected by even narrower passageways which are about wide enough for a single person to pass through. It is full of tiny bars and restaurants, many of which only seat 6 patrons at a time.

    Ramen and fried chicken for dinner.
