Shinjuku is one of the perfect neighbourhoods in Tokyo city to stay
in if you're a first time visitor. Yes, after analysing details about where to stay in Tokyo, Shinjuku caught my eye. Shinjuku is a very easy place to get
around by train or metro, not only that most of the neighbourhood's landmarks
like Omoide Yokocho and Memory Lanes are available within walking distance from
your stays. However, even most of restaurants, shopping centres and bars are even
close to your hotels or stays.
But exploring Shinjuku at night time is the most underrated thing which
is unknown to most backpackers. Sometimes visitors come to Japan to explore
night things at Shibuya or Asakusa but they skip Shinjuku. Even today,
thousands of skyscrapers, dazzling neon lights and bustling streets are the
most attractive elements in Shinjuku to enjoy at night. Despite its
eye-catching lights and bustling streets, we came with 5 best things which you
can do in Shinjuku at night.
What to Do in Shinjuku at Night
1. Visit Omoide Yokocho
Starting your night journey in Shinjuku from Omoide Yokocho is a really
cool idea. This is a place where visitors can get a number of narrow neon light
alleys shining by the city's popular red lanterns and yakitori grills. However
this Omoide Yokocho is a narrow alleyway lined with izakayas and restaurants
and eateries on both sides of your narrow passageway. Each time when you passing
its alleyway you can be much fortunate to taste regional influenced dishes in a
more nostalgic atmosphere.
2. Enjoy Kawaguchiko Night View
If you are looking to get the perfect night of Fuji active
stratovolcano, then reach vantage points of Kawaguchiko. From Kwaguhiko
visitors could watch a more magical night view of Mt. Fuji through starry skies
and town lights. Its lake is even more clear, majestic and calm during the
night which reflects the lights of surrounding buildings. Visit during the
winter season when you can enjoy star gazing and more lights behind Mt. Fuji. Its
series and snow-capped views bring cameras while packing their backpacks.
3. Experience Golden Gai
Another vibrant place in Shinjuku to spend our time at night. Golden Gai
is a place filled with unique bars and pubs with eclectic themes making it a
great choice to enjoy lively nightlife. Over 200 bars ranging from jazz and
punk rock and anime memorabilia are lined parallels one by one. Drink vibrant
beer options under its colorful light effects. However Golden Gai’s one of the
special features is tiny bars, where more than 10 people gather and allow
patrons to mingle with other people.
4. Climb Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck is a great
place to see 360 panoramic views of Tokyo’s skyline and other landmarks like
Tokyo Tower and Mt. Fuji (especially during night). While you reach the top of
202 meters high during night time you’ll be very fortunate to enjoy Tokyo
Nights, Tokyo sky tree and major night light shows. Visit during sunset time
for magical lights and this helps you to reduce crowds in elevators.
5. Visit Sucia’s Penguin Park
