Itinerary

  1. Omoide Yokocho (思い出横丁) is located by the West Exit (Shinjuku Nishiguchi) of Shinjuku Station in Tokyo. Omoide Yokocho is a bar district with a nostalgic atmosphere. It has its roots in the open-air markets that formed in the burnt-out ruins of Tokyo in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. Today, approximately 80 shops crowd together in about 2,000 m2 of land, giving the district its bustling atmosphere and creating a spot that is popular with overseas tourists as well as locals.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
