Tokyo
Shinjuku
Darkness Among Lights
- 2 hours
- Max 25 people
- Shinjuku Station, East Exit
- +100 passport points
- Two guides from 15 people
The busiest station on earth, neon alleys and the quiet corners locals keep to themselves.
Shinjuku is two cities stacked on top of each other. We walk from the skyscraper district into Omoide Yokocho and Golden Gai, past shrines wedged between bars, and explain how the neon, the nightlife and the salaryman city grew out of each other.
