Food Floor of the Isetan Department Store
Japanese department stores usually have food floors at the basement floors, and they’re called “Depachika”. It is a unique place where you can find a variety of delicious Japanese and international food.
Hanazono Shrine
The magnificent Shrine is dedicated to the god of entertainment and has mysterious Golden-Gai streets just behind it.
Golden Gai
It is a small area composed of a network of six narrow alleys, connected by even narrower passageways. Over 200 tiny shanty-style bars and clubs are squeezed into the area.
Kabukicho streets
The area is famous as one of the busiest entertainment district in Japan.
TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku Building
A life-sized Gozilla head looks out over the city from the eighth floor of the building. There is a big pachinko parlor at the second floor. You can see how popular pachinko is in Japan.
Omoide Yokocho
"Omoide-Yokocho (Corner of Memories)" at Shinjuku West gate used to be a black market after the Second World War and now you will find many small and old stalls of yakitori, ramen and casual Japanese food along a narrow street.
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
It is famous among tourists for its free observation deck on the 45th floor which provide good panoramic views of Tokyo and beyond. It is open till 9:30pm.

Tokyo Tour Reviews
“Chiaki gets 5 stars for a reason ”
I'm always reluctant relying online reviews especially when I flew 14 hrs to get there. Im glad I did and Im glad we got connected with Chiaki. She is awesome we brought my 83 year old mother in law and Chiaki not only gave all the history etc. but held her arm much of the time, sheparded her around and made changes on the fly like saying it's too hot for her at the next site let's do this instead. Bottom line if your sitting on your couch in the states planning a trip to Tokyo and your bringing your parents and you want a low key, not rushed experience she's the one. 5 stars all day

“Great start to our trip”
Chiaki was a great guide, full of local knowledge. We had an evening tour, visiting a number of areas with a few surprises along the way (stepping into the serenity of a shrine, moments away from the hustle and bustle to name one). Thank you for saving us from looking like tourists on our first day Chiaki
