Walking around Shinjuku neighborhood

 We walked around Shinjuku for about 1hour. 

This skyscraper similar to the Empire State Building is the NTT docomo tower.

Unfortunately it is not open to the public
















The building in front is a gigantic huge pachinko parlor.































Get off at Shinjuku Station East Exit and walk 5 minutes to the north side in the crowd,
then you get out on a big street called Yasukuni Dori.
Crossing this street is a famous Kabuki-cho in the entertainment district.

5minutes walking to the east from Kabuki-cho, there is the Hanaozno Shrine.
Sinjuku is an interesting town where the entertainment area and silence are next to each other.

















The old building in this crowd is a traditional entertainment hall
where mainly Rakugo is performed.
