1. What kind of place is Shinjuku Station? Tokyo's urban subcenter, Shinjuku
The facade of JR Shinjuku Station's east exit.
Shinjuku is said to be Japan's biggest business and entertainment district. Shinjuku Station is the heart of it, and it has many different modes of transportation running through it including the JR, private railways, the subway, and more, so you can easily reach sightseeing spots not just in Tokyo but also further away like Kamakura in the Shonan area of Kanagawa. In the area are plenty of buildings including shopping facilities and offices, so it's always busy and full of people.
It's the most crowded station on earth?! Shinjuku Station is a huge terminal station
A crowded JR Shinjuku Station platform.
Since it's a terminal that functions to connect the city with the outskirts, it's always full of people! It's said that 3.4 million people pass through this station daily, and it even has a Guinness World Record. The most crowded time is the weekday rush hour. If you can, try to avoid using this station at that time.
Shinjuku Station is famous not just for being crowded but also for being confusing. Since there are 6 companies with 11 train lines and they are all connected underground, it's a very huge, confusing place.
There are underground paths and connections from B3 to B5, and you'll feel like you're traveling through a dungeon! It's a difficult place that confuses even Tokyo natives.
2. If you know this, you'll be OK! 3 points to know for strategic movement through Shinjuku Station
Since Shinjuku Station is pretty complicated, if you just remember this information, you should be okay. Here are 3 points so you can strategically move through the station even if it's your first visit.
Point 1： Think of Shinjuku Station as 3 separate areas
Even though Shinjuku Station is rather wide, if you think of it as 3 different areas, then it will be easier to navigate. Break it up into the eastern, western, and southern areas with the JR station in the center, and look up in which area is your destination. If you think of it this way, you'll be OK even if you're going within the station or outside of it.
[Eastern Area]
The eastern area is a business area chock-full of well-established department stores, restaurants, and other shops. The Seibu Shinjuku Line and Shinjuku Sanchome Station are also in this area.
★JR ticket gates in the eastern area
- Central east exit
- East exit
[Western Area]
The western area is where there are many office buildings including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and luxury hotels are lined up. It's also where the Odakyu, Keio, and Marunouchi Lines are.
★JR ticket gates in the western area
- Central west exit
- West exit
[Southern Area]
The southern area has plenty of brand new facilities including the highway bus terminal and shopping facilities. The Odakyu, Oedo, Shinjuku, and Keio New Lines are all here.
★JR ticket gates in the southern area
- South exit
- Southeast exit
- New south ticket gate
- Koshu-Kaido gate
- Miraina Tower gate
※3-5 are south, across the street called Koshu-Kaido
Point 2：Remember that south is above and east/west is below
The first step to mastering the station is to not confuse the exits. An ironclad rule to remember when moving from the JR ticket gates to your destination is that south is above and east and west are below! If you remember this, even if you get a little lost, you'll be able to fix your path.
[If you want to go to the southern area]
To get to the southern exits like the south exit, southeast exit, and new south exit, go up via the stairs.
[If you want to go to the eastern or western areas]
To get to either the east or west exit, go underground. The east exit is on the platform 1 side while west is on the platform 16 side.
Point 3： Avoid using the underground paths as much as possible
While the underground paths and tunnels are convenient if you know how to use them, using them on your first visit is asking for a high risk of getting lost. There are many underground paths, to the point that it goes from B3F to B5F! It's confusing like a web, so unless the weather is bad, it would be best to use above-ground paths only.
