Shinjuku - A City Of Neon Lights!
By cooldude | April 8, 2008
During the first day of our Tokyo trip, we checked in our hostel quite late in the evening. So we figured that we would go to some place which does not take a long time to walk around in. Shinjuku was the first place which came to our mind, since we wanted to have the firsthand experience of Tokyo’s urban nightlife.
From our hostel in Asakusa, we took a subway train to Shinjuku and it took around 25 minutes to reach our destination (not counting the 10 minutes we wasted trying to figure out which lines to transfer and what tickets we should buy… damn the subway there is sure confusing for a first-timer). Once we reach there, we were in for another big headache. The Shinjuku subway was HUGE! Even by looking at the map, we could not figure out where we were :-(. In the end, we just chose any exit to get out of the station and find our way from there.
When we finally got out, we were amazed by the size of the city! It’s simply a shoppers paradise! Everywhere you’ll see neon lights in red, green, blue, white… just name any color and they’ll have it. There were also lots and lots of people! You’ll have to see it to believe it. Below are the pictures we took of this colorful and exciting place…
