Kabukicho, north of Shinjuku Station in Shinjuku Ward, is Tokyo's neon-lit entertainment district. Seibu-Shinjuku Station stands inside Kabukicho 1-chome, and it is a short walk from the east exit of JR Shinjuku.
Shinjuku Station is served by the JR Yamanote, Chuo, Saikyo, Shonan-Shinjuku and Sobu lines, plus the Keio and Odakyu lines, the Marunouchi subway line and the Toei Shinjuku and Oedo lines. From Tokyo Station it is 14 minutes on the Chuo Line rapid; from Haneda Airport about 55 minutes by train or limousine bus.
The closest station to Kabukicho is Seibu-Shinjuku on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, whose address is in Kabukicho 1-chome. From JR Shinjuku, leave by the east exit and head north. Shinjuku-sanchome (Marunouchi, Fukutoshin and Toei Shinjuku lines) is also within walking distance.
Kabukicho spreads north of the station as a neon-lit entertainment district, which is how the Tokyo tourism foundation describes it. Shinjuku Golden Gai, a cluster of tiny bars, adjoins it. Check the building name and floor on the venue page before you go.
The business types RED LIGHT JAPAN lists for Shinjuku and Kabukicho are shown in the venue list and categories on this page. Venue pages give guide prices, hours and the languages spoken.
Under Tokyo's nuisance-prevention ordinance, touting, scouting and waiting for customers for sex-related businesses are banned in Kabukicho 1- and 2-chome and other designated districts. Shinjuku Ward's own ordinance goes further: Kabukicho 1- and 2-chome, Shinjuku 2- and 3-chome and Nishi-Shinjuku 1-chome are special anti-touting districts where touting for izakaya, karaoke, cabaret clubs, host clubs and fashion health venues, and street scouting, are prohibited. Since June 2016, those who ignore guidance face publication of their name and a fine. Do not follow anyone who invites you in from the street; contact venues directly through the details on their listings. Venue pages give guide prices and hours, so a quick call or message first is the sure way.
