The walk provides a first-person perspective of daily life in this dynamic area of the city, making it a valuable resource for travelers and urban explorers interested in experiencing the diversity of Tokyo’s neighborhoods.

The route follows a straightforward path, starting at the east exit of Shinjuku Station. Kabukicho is the first major area passed through—known as Tokyo’s entertainment and nightlife district, Kabukicho is filled with restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. The bustling streets are lined with neon lights and packed with a mix of locals and tourists. While Kabukicho has a reputation for nightlife, it’s also home to cinemas, themed cafes, and shopping opportunities. This segment of the walk highlights the energetic atmosphere characteristic of central Tokyo.

Upon leaving Kabukicho, the walk turns northward toward Shin-Okubo, a district that is widely known for its Korean community and lively atmosphere. Shin-Okubo is especially popular among women and younger travelers for its array of Korean restaurants, street food vendors, K-pop shops, and beauty stores. The area is a hotspot for those interested in Korean culture but is also appreciated for its multicultural blend and unique street vibe. For travelers, walking between Shinjuku and Shin-Okubo is a convenient way to enjoy two very different Tokyo neighborhoods within a short distance.

Highlights in this walking route include the entrance and plaza areas of Shinjuku Station (located at 35.6921225, 139.7010791) and the ever-busy streets of Kabukicho. Shin-Okubo itself is centered around Shin-Okubo Station and the lively Okubo-dori Avenue. Visitors to this area can easily enjoy authentic Korean cuisine or immerse themselves in Tokyo’s international subcultures, all within walking distance of one of the city’s main transport arteries.
