Everything else you do in a day starts here.

• Higashi-shinjuku 東新宿4 min · 330 m
• Shinjuku-sanchome 新宿三丁目6 min · 479 m
• Seibu-Shinjuku 西武新宿7 min · 532 m
• Shinjuku 新宿7 min · 585 m
• Shinjuku-nishiguchi 新宿西口8 min · 652 m

Where there is no train, this is the way out. Stops on both sides of one road are counted once.

• Nisshinshokuhin mae 日清食品前1 min · 101 m
• Higashi-shinjuku-eki-mae 東新宿駅前3 min · 246 m

Open late, sells water, food, and usually has an ATM that takes foreign cards.

• 7-Eleven セブン-イレブン1 min · 42 m
• FamilyMart ファミリーマート1 min · 84 m

Getting ill is the thing most likely to ruin a trip.

• Daikoku Doraggu Shinjuku 5 Choume Branch ダイコクドラッグ 新宿5丁目店1 min · 75 m
• San Yakuhin サン薬品1 min · 76 m

Matters once you are staying more than a few nights.

• Maruetsu マルエツ3 min · 252 m
• My Basket まいばすけっと4 min · 290 m

Seven Bank, Lawson Bank, E-net, Aeon and Japan Post accept cards issued outside Japan. Most other Japanese bank ATMs decline them, so they are not counted here. Post offices are counted, because that is where most Japan Post machines are.

• E-net イーネット1 min · 83 m
• Shinjuku Meiji-dori Post Office 新宿明治通郵便局2 min · 141 m

Restaurants and fast food. Cafes are not counted — most close before dinner.

• Hakata Tonkotsu Raamen Kitarou 博多とんこつラーメン 貴太郎1 min · 30 m
• Pizzeria Lumen 1 min · 31 m
• Hakatakko 博多っ子1 min · 31 m

Somewhere to sit in the morning that is not your room.

• Doutour Coffee Shop ドトールコーヒーショップ1 min · 60 m
• Marieeru マリエール1 min · 76 m

Attractions, museums, viewpoints, castles and monuments. Ordinary neighbourhood shrines are not counted — Japan has tens of thousands, and counting them would make every street look remarkable.

• Shinjuku Ganka Garou 新宿眼科画廊1 min · 67 m
• Raiden Inari Shrine 雷電稲荷神社2 min · 185 m
• Shrine Fukkou Kinen Hi 神社復興記念碑2 min · 192 m

Often the reason for the trip rather than a convenience.

• thermae-yu 天然温泉;テルマー湯1 min · 115 m

Somewhere to walk that is not a shopping street.

• Okubo Park 大久保公園6 min · 477 m
• Koizumi Yakumo Kinen Park 小泉八雲記念公園6 min · 499 m

Shown for information only. About 3,000 are mapped for the whole country against many times that in reality, so a hit here is worth something and a miss means nothing.

Shown for information only. Our sources cover this category unevenly, so a low count here may mean the map is incomplete rather than the area is.

• Daikokuya Shinjuku Main Branch 大黒屋 新宿本店4 min · 327 m
• Yuu Nakagawa 遊 中川5 min · 417 m

Counted as a plus here. A property tool would count the same places as a minus.

• Otoko No Musume Bar ACTRESS 男の娘bar ACTRESS1 min · 28 m
• Sabbath 1 min · 31 m

Staffed neighbourhood police posts. The default place to go if something goes wrong.
