Feel the real Samurai spirit.Samurai Museum is located in the KABUKICHO district of Shinjuku, which is one of the urban areas in Tokyo. It displays various kinds of authentic artifacts such as Samurai armor, helmets and weapons. The mission for the museum is to share true Samurai spirits with you so that you can have a better understanding of Samurai , including how they fought, who they were, what they believed. The museum offers an English guided tour that runs frequently for you to learn rich Samurai history at a deeper level. Many interesting facts about Samurai are covered in this tour.In addition, it has a photo booth where you are allowed to take pictures wearing Samurai outfits or Kimono. Also, the museum offers a special sword show at 2,3,4 and 5 pm everyday for you to watch two trained actors doing a sword fighting performance. The Museum shop is also worth visiting to buy cool gifts such as Katana.

The museum has a private collection of some of the best samurai armor, swords and other accessories I have seen. There are guided tours in English that run about every hour (About 1hr duration). Tickets are reasonably priced and includes an informative guided tour, a chance to try on a samurai helmet with a sword as well as other garments such as kimonos. There is also a samurai sword-wielding demonstration that runs at set intervals during the day (You can return during the day to see the demonstration). Easy walking distance from Shinjuku station. A must see.

A great place to walk around and get transformed back in time to how the drinking scene in Tokyo was.. great place to grab a couple of drinks just for the experience. Most places charge a cover fee for entrance and usually seat any where between 6-8 people. There are some that are strictly for members and will have it written on the door clearly, so don’t bother with them

Busy area in Shinjuku. It’s open late if you’re looking for food and shopping. Make sure you don’t get invited to the bar by those people standing on the street. They’ll rip you off.

"Shinjuku-batting-center" serves as a landmark of "Kabuki-cho." Entrance to an institution is no charge. When enjoying "BATTING," it is 300 yen 1 time, and they are 26 ball. I am preparing a bat, shoes, and a glove for nothing. There is also a place which enjoys pitching. Please come for play.

Amazing fun and very affordable. Recommended for all tourists at least once. Got addicted and played 13 games of 22 balls straight (286 ball throws). Cost 4,000 Yen and I was absolutely hammered! Hit 3 home runs under the 110km/h speed. I would recommend picking the 80/90/100km/h speed settings for a beginner/intemediate. Then, after a few games, move to lane 4/5 for 110/120/130km/h to test yourself against a faster pitch. After 13 games, my hands are covered in blisters. Please look after yourself and don’t do 13 games straight like me. Overall, wonderful experience!

On our last day in Japan we wanted to See Godzilla. Admission is FREE. From our accommodation The Keio plaza Hotel we walked 10mins to Shinjuku Station. From there We walked another 10mins to Hotel Cracery & spotted Godzilla on the roof. We went through under the Cinema complex to the ground level floor Elevator of Hotel Gracery. It is Clearly signed for directions. We took the Elevator up to 9th floor.Once there you walk out onto the outside Deck where you are greeting with a huge Godzilla Head & Claw. We got there right on the hour so get to hear Godzilla Roaring, eyes flashing Red & steam coming out of his mouth, At night it shows red laser beams coming out of his mouth. Show is on every hour from 12pm-12am & goes for about 3minutes. I would Highly recommend.
