We were fortunate enough to find an airbnb apartment in this neighborhood and we enjoyed it so much. This is reminiscent of St Germain in Paris (Japanese style of course) with all the small alleyway, full of restaurants on every level of the buildings. So many choices. We spent 10 glorious days and did not feel like going anywhere else as there is so much to discover. This neighborhood has French influence with many restaurants, we tried a couple but the Japanese food is so good that we could not have enough time for all. Walking day and nights in the small alleyways we never felt threatened as we found Japanese people so welcoming, kind, polite and patient with us as we do not speak the language. We learned to say the minimum and to bow, this was enough to show our appreciation for their kindness. Where in the world do you have the owner, the waiter and the cook following you in the street and bowing good bye and thank you? We were deeply impressed by their courtesy and this was not unique, this is the norm here. We will come back to this airbnb and neighborhood again.

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.

Easy access with JR Yamanote Line, Seibu Shinjuku line and the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. It is full of restaurants and izakaya, warm atmosphere.
