Shinjuku Kabukicho is the best entertainment district in the East, and this neon-lit town is also called the Nightless Castle.
There are many red-light districts in Tokyo, but from the izakaya, karaoke, cabaret clubs to host clubs, Kabukicho is probably the city with the most suspicious desires.
Today, I walked around the Toho Cinema from Kabukicho Ichibangai.
As you follow the bargain, you’ll be billed for exorbitant fees! The local Shinjuku police station has announced from a speaker on the street, but this area is still relatively safe. (However, please do not follow along with customers. Please check the store in advance on the Internet before visiting.)
In Tokyo, where the number of people infected with the new coronavirus is increasing again, people in the city are still sparse.
Overview/Geography[edit]
Kabukicho at night as seen from Yasukuni Dori Central road leading to Shinjuku Toho Building (former Koma Theater) Sakura street Ward office street Kabukicho is located in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. It is Japan’s largest entertainment district with many restaurants, amusement facilities, and movie theaters. It is called “Japan’s Three Great Red-light Districts” along with Nakasu, which is the Susukino area in Sapporo.
It is located in the area surrounded by Meiji-dori (east), Yasukuni-dori (south), JR Chuo Line (west), and Koyasu-dori (north) (excluding the site of Hanazono Shrine and its north-south area). .. By train, the nearest station is the east exit of Shinjuku Station (JR and other lines) or Seibu Shinjuku Station. The Toei Oedo Line is near Shinjuku West Exit Station or Higashi Shinjuku Station. If you head north from Shinjuku Station’s east exit, you will come across a large street (Yasukuni Street) in front of the Don Quijote main store. Beyond this, you will reach Kabukicho. There are Kabukicho Ichibangai (Theater Street), Chuo Street (Central Road), Sakura Street, Seibu Shinjuku Street, Higashi Street, and Ward Office Street. If you get off at Seibu Shinjuku Station, Kabukicho will be in front of you.
There are manga cafes, taverns, cabaret clubs, host clubs, love hotels, and pachinko parlors in the town. It is called “the city that never sleeps”, and there are many neon and bright people even at midnight. In front of Don Quijote, there are many scouts and hosts on Central Road, catching by suspicious guests, dubious bargaining and pimping, etc. There is a unique atmosphere of Kabukicho mixed with legal and illegal, and it is also called “Toyo No. 1 entertainment district”.
Kabukicho has 1-chome and 2-chome. Kabukicho 1-chome is located on the south and Seibu Shinjuku Station bordering Hanamichi-dori, and Kabukicho 2-chome is located in the north.
Kabukicho 1-chome [edit]
To the west, there is a corner that used to be an entertainment district until recently. Heading east, you will find the Shinjuku Ward Office, and across the Ward Office Street you will find Shinjuku Golden Gai. There are many restaurants, sex shops and adult shops on the back street. In addition to the complex shopping stores in the Seibu Shinjuku Station building, major discount chains have recently entered the market, but there are fewer merchandise stores than Shinjuku Sanchome, which crosses Yasukuni Dori. On December 19, 2017, the permanent amusement spot “Tokyo Mystery Circus” operated by SCRAP opened.
Kabukicho 2-chome [edit]
To the west, the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Health and Medical Corporation Okubo Hospital/Tokyo Kenko Plaza Hydia, the love hotel town spreads to the east, and there are many clubs and host clubs near the ward office street, but unlike the 1-chome, you can find a sex shop On the other hand, office buildings and condominiums are lined up along the Koyasu-dori and Meiji-dori streets, and the appearance of a downtown area or a recreational area does not feel at all. There is also the street name Hello Work Shinjuku Kabukicho Government Building along the job security street (mainly at the reception desk for employment etc. on the employer side, where unemployment benefits such as employment insurance and job consultation are done at Nishi Shinjuku Government Office) In addition, there is a Korean restaurant and a food supermarket as it is in contact with Okubo, which is one of the leading Korean towns in Tokyo.
