I think many people who go to Tokyo for the first time will get lost in Shinjuku Station.

Shinjuku Station is one of the most complex stations in Tokyo.

Shinjuku is a bustling business district with the largest number of train passengers in Japan, and is also the center of Shinjuku Station.

From the picture above, it is easy to see that Japan’s first complexity is well deserved.

Even Japanese people yell about getting lost when they arrive in Shinjuku. So it's natural for foreign tourists to get lost.

If you want to move efficiently in Shinjuku without getting lost, the first thing you need to do is to have a general understanding of Shinjuku's overall orientation map.

Shinjuku is divided into three areas: East Area, West Area, and South Area with the station as the dividing line.

Export types vary from region to region, which is the main culprit of confusion.

First of all, you need to know whether your destination is to the east, west or south of Shinjuku.

You can grasp the location through local landmarks, which is the first key to the Shinjuku strategy.

The second key to your Shinjuku strategy is to get out of the station first no matter where you are!

Don't trap yourself under the station!

To exit the station, come out from the south.

This is the simplest and easiest to understand.

Since you can go east and west from the south, you won't get lost in the underground maze anymore.

Remember this rule!

When things are unclear, come out from the south (look for the south exit).

This is the easiest way to not get lost in comparison!

The following is a classification of Shinjuku’s three wards.

East side of Shinjuku Station ~ Bustling business area Jr. East Exit Jr. Central East Exit to Isetan and Don Quixote Hall (direction to Kabukicho) Kabukicho, known as Tokyo's most prosperous business district, is located on the east side of Shinjuku Station

.

West of Shinjuku Station ~ High-rise building area Jr West Exit Jr Nakanishi Exit If you want to go to Odaji Department Store, Wang Jing Department Store, Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Yuto Hasai, go west.

The west side of Shinjuku is an area where office buildings and hotels gather.

Shinjuku Station South ~ Kashu Street Jr. South Exit Jr. Shinnan Exit Jr. Southeast Exit Jr. Kashu Street Exit If you want to go to Takashimaya, you and I will be in the east, and you will go south in Shinjuku (Shinjuku Shinnan Exit Bus Center).

The express bus terminal is Shinjuku Bus Terminal, exit from the south side.

Although Shinjuku is divided into three areas, if you want to simplify it, dividing it into two large areas is also an effective method.

1. Nishi Ward and the south side of Shinjuku Station. On the west side of Shinjuku Station, there are many large hotels such as Tokyo Hilton Hotel, Wangjing Plaza Hotel, and Shinjuku Washington Hotel. It is an area where foreign tourists gather.

After coming out of the JR West Exit and the Central West Exit, there is Cocoon Tower in front of Shinjuku, Odakyu HALC on the right, and then the epoch-making Tokyo Metropolitan Government, with high-rise buildings on the market.

There are many crowded places in front of the station, such as Yutobashi and the post office, as well as many restaurants.

On the west side near the station, there are various shops.

There is also a Yudu Baxi Electrical Appliances Store.

Shinjuku Station West Exit.

In addition, there is Kashu Street, a major road that spans the east and west sides, on the south side of Shinjuku Station. There are airport buses to Narita and Haneda Airports, as well as the Shinjuku New South Exit Bus Center, and express buses to all parts of the country.

It is natural to think of the west exit coming out of the west side of Shinjuku, but in fact, the west exit is called an underground maze, and you can often find your location.

Therefore, Shinjuku's trick strategy is to get off the ground quickly.

One of the easiest ways is from the south.

Coming out of the south exit, Jiazhou Street is right in front of you.

From there you can travel from west to east, especially to the west, which is very convenient.

So friends coming to Japan, if you want to go to Shinjuku, unless you are very familiar with it, in case you get lost, start from the south first!

Coming out of the south exit of Shinjuku Station, you can see Kashu Street.

If you get lost in Shinjuku, this road can serve as a signpost.
