Caution:- We visit Kabuki-cho. Kabuki cho is red light district. Some of the tour spots may not be children / teenagers friendly. We do not recommend joining the tour with children. Walkers must walk about 8000 steps. Some people blamed me because I brought them to Kabuki-cho,redlight district. But,when it comes to Shinjuku,we can not avoid Kabukicho. Shinjuku has two aspects. West area, there is Tokyo metropolitan government office,tall office buildings and over 600 years Buddhist temple. East area, there is Kabuki-cho,biggest redlight district which is very different from Amsterdam. You can see various sexual business there. Through the area,sacred Shinto shrine appears. I hope you feel the dynamism of Shinjuku.
