It gets really crowded, especially on weekends—it’s almost shoulder to shoulder, so be prepared.

Takarazuka Hotel
Takarazuka Hotel in Takarazuka, Hyogo, is the official hotel of Takarazuka Grand Theater, which opened in 1926 and will celebrate its 100th anniversary on May 14, 2026. It relocated in 2020 to a site just west of Takarazuka Grand Theater. It is also easy to access, about a 4-minute walk from Takarazuka Station on the Hankyu Takarazuka Line and about a 7-minute walk from Takarazuka Station on the JR Takarazuka Line, and is beloved by many fans of the Takarazuka Revue.
The hotel interior keeps an elegant vintage style. Everything from the staircase and hallways to the lounge areas is beautifully designed.
I especially loved the lobby. It’s spacious, bright, and full of classic charm. -

Keio Department Store, Shinjuku
Keio Department Store, Shinjuku is a large department store directly connected to Keio Line Shinjuku Station. It spans 11 floors from B1F to RF, covering a wide range of categories including food, cosmetics, daily goods, fashion, and restaurants. Since opening in 1964, it has been popular with shoppers of all ages for its diverse selection and comfortable spaces.
If you're taking the Keio Line or staying near Shinjuku's west exit, it's super convenient to stop by before heading back to your hotel. You can find fruit, prepared foods, or late-night snacks, and there are lots of dessert shops in the underground area. They also often have limited-edition items.

Kadoya Hotel
Kadoya Hotel is a long-standing hotel, operating in Nishi-Shinjuku for over half a century. Its location is outstanding, located just about 3 minutes on foot from the west exit of JR Shinjuku Station, the Toei Shinjuku Line’s Shinjuku Station, and the Toei Oedo Line’s Tochomae Station.
It's really close to Shinjuku Station. Even with luggage, it's only a few minutes on foot, which makes it super convenient for independent travelers.
