Tips Before You Visit
Use “South Exit” (Minami-guchi) as Your Landmark at Shinjuku Station
Shinjuku Station is the world’s busiest railway station by passenger volume, with dozens of exits that can be confusing for first-time visitors. If you arrive via JR, following signs to the “South Exit” (南口) puts you within a 3-minute walk of the hotel. If using the Toei Oedo Line, Exit A1 is the closest.
Expect Detours Near the West-South Exit Due to Construction
Shinjuku’s large-scale redevelopment project (the “Shinjuku Grand Terminal” initiative) is expected to continue into the 2040s. As of 2026, demolition work in the west-south exit area has resulted in pedestrian detours in some locations. Allow extra time if walking from that direction.
Busta Shinjuku Long-Distance Bus Terminal Is About 3 Minutes Away
Busta Shinjuku, Tokyo’s major long-distance highway bus terminal, is approximately a 3-minute walk from the hotel. It serves destinations across Japan, making it a convenient option for domestic travel or returning home after an event.
Stay Dry on Rainy Days via Takashimaya Times Square
On rainy days, you can walk from JR Shinjuku Station South Exit through underground passages or through Takashimaya Times Square to reach the hotel area without getting wet — a helpful route to know if the weather turns unexpectedly.
