The Shinjuku area, particularly Kabukicho, is one of Japan's most famous entertainment and nightlife districts, bustling with energy around the clock. An interesting fact is that despite its modern reputation, the name "Kabukicho" originates from a post-war plan to build a kabuki theater in the area, a plan that never materialized. The closest major landmark is the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a sprawling and serene park offering a beautiful escape from the urban buzz with traditional Japanese, English, and French landscape gardens.
