Shinjuku is special, it offers a lot, great connection point, crossroad, administrative center, packed with people round the clock, nice skyline, tall buildings, great shopping area even for those with special taste and desire, red light district, shrines and parks, nice restaurants, music in the streets, huge crossroads that remind you of a catwalk at fashion show, well dressed people...

This is a quite area at night if you prefer good sleep night. If you don't, you will find restaurants, night clubs and other activities not too far away. Shinjuku Station is big and very busy, but you can go from there to anywhere in Tokyo. At the station there are three large departments stores if shopping in style is... More

Nice district, especially in the evening, but avoid the extremely annoying touts trying to lure you in one of the clubs, just do not perceive them and ignore them totally.

Okay, let me say, I say excellent, but without some showing around, you could get lost and hate Shinjuku.
