Sights of interest
Kabukicho
Situated not far from the east exit of Shinjuku Station, Kabukicho is a busy downtown area filled with many adult-oriented nightclubs and shops, restaurants, and bars. It also has a rich history as “the town that never sleeps.” As a place for people to meet and enjoy each other's company at the countless different Japanese-style pubs, bars, or leisure facilities, the hustle and bustle of Kabukicho never ceases.
Shibuya Scramble Crossing
The Shibuya Scramble Crossing is a major intersection on the north-west side of Shibuya Station. This is where hordes of people come and go in Shibuya—the epicenter of Japanese fashion. It is said to be the world's most famous pedestrian crossing and has come to be seen as a symbol of Japan's urban landscape. And with more than 1,000 people crossing at a time, it is frequently called "the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world."

Famous for its beautiful rows of Japanese elm trees, Omotesando is a 1.1-kilometer-long avenue running between Harajuku and Aoyama.
