Kabukicho is the entertainment district that sits just steps from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It’s a major hub for izakaya pubs, amusement centers and nightlife spots to enjoy after hours. With neon signs lit up through the entire night, it’s earned the nickname of “the city that never sleeps”.
Kabukicho attracts visitors from all across the world who come to see the hype of dinner and a show at Robot Restaurant, or the all-immersive spy-themed experience at inSPYre.
Ninja Trick House in Tokyo is another spot, giving visitors the chance to try their hand at the thrills of ninja life and Japanese culture.
※The area has added security cameras and other safety upgrades but its recommended to avoid uninvited solicitations or for ladies to avoid walking the area alone at night.
