Tokyo’s Shinjuku District with its many clubs, bars, izakaya pubs and karaoke boxes may be a nightlife destination, but there is plenty to enjoy when the sun’s out too.

Head there for a quick meal at one of the many restaurants in the area or great shopping at the department stores or local flagships. Enjoy the concrete jungle and incredible views of the viral 3D cat billboard and enormous Godzilla head keeping watch from high above Kabukicho District.

Don’t miss the daytime activities in this busy district!
