Japan 2013 - Passing Shinjuku (Kabukicho - 歌舞伎町)

Shinjuku was our last stop of the night after rushing through Harajuku and Shibuya. Unfortunately most shopping malls were on their way to closing when we finally arrived at one of the busiest train station in Tokyo. Hence the only option left was Kabukicho, Japan's famous entertainment & red light district.

It is evident that this place is the total opposite of the rest of Tokyo. Gone are the friendly and super duper polite people of the city. Feels more human in a way, I guess. Sights of Yakuzas walking around are kinda scary though haha. 

Generally this is the place to go if you are looking for host/hostess clubs, bars, JAV and other related stuff. It's best if you know some Japanese although there are places specially catered for foreigners. Not my type of place though. Or maybe I have just not spent enough time exploring Shinjuku.
