_Shinjuku_

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is located there as well as Tokyo’s early skyscrapers, erected in the 1970s.

Major department stores, electronics stores and hotels can also be found here. On the east side of Shinjuku Station, Kabuki-cho is notorious for its many bars and nightclubs.

Shinjuku Station moves an estimated three million passengers a day, making it the busiest in the world.

The pace is enormous!

Japan’s biggest antique flea markets :)!

Seven hundred dealers bring the streets of Setagaya to life at one of Japan’s biggest antique flea markets:) It runs between 15 and 16 of December every year. A rumble through the jumble at this boro ichi market could reward the discerning shopper with an antique kimono, hidden among a colourful selection of arts, crafts and bric-a-brac. The excitement of thousands of feverish bargain-hunters is hard to beat, and the food stalls are legendary too. Many moons ago a rakuichi market for unlicensed merchants was established to add prosperity to this castle town:) Four centuries on and the market is older than the antiques it sells!
