Is the Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku Hotel a close walk to Kabuki-cho (red light district) and the trains?
willny� asked:
I want to be an easy walk from the crazy nightlife of Shinjuku and be close to the trains. This hotel seems nice, reasonably priced and somewhat close to where I want to be. However, I’ve never been to Tokyo so I really have no idea. I don′t mind a 5-10 minute walk, but not too far as I will most likely be stumbling back to the hotel.

From reading the location description from the website it seems that the hotel is on the west side of the station but only 100 meters from it. So access to the station is very good but the only problem is Kabuki-cho is on the east side to the north. Shinjuku station is one of the biggest in the world and it’s a little hike from the southwest side to the northeast side. If you hustle, I’d say you could do it in 10 minutes. If you’re stumbling back drunk, it could be 15-20 minutes on foot.
as long as you can stumble into a cab you will be OK (at least travelwise) probably only 650 yen, and a quietly disgruntled driver
