Shinjuku (see also; http://funtravelinjapan.blogspot.jp/2011/01/heal-yourself-in-busiest-town-in-world.html), seems like the name of the city is well-known by many foreign tourists recently,
is sometimes too lively for local people to visit. Too many people, too many
cars, too many buildings too many crimes, too many etc,,,. That is too much materialistic in some ways.
But it’s
definitely a fun place to feel the excitement of Tokyo city life. Many many
things to do, such as shopping, dining out, watching movies, or just walking
around the town (that’s what I did this time). It’s totally up to you regarding what to do. There are too many people on the streets, but nobody cares what you are doing !! That's why I like this town.

Omoide Yokocho (or Memory Alley) Used to be a lot where vendors sold black market goods back in 40-50's |
Inside the Omoide Yokocho Now there are a lot of cheap restaurants and bars located inside. My recommendation is Yakitori (or grilled chicken) FYI: Yakitori http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakitori |
And toilets, too. I've found the official website and a Facebook page of Omide Yokocho. Visit it, they're only in Japanese though. http://www.shinjuku-omoide.com/ http://www.facebook.com/omoideyokocho |
