Night view in Shinjuku
In this article I would like to introduce four spots in Shinjuku to enjoy the night view.
Shinjuku is divided into Higashi-Shinjuku, a busy downtown area with a mix of bars, movie theaters, and nighttime stores, and Nishi-Shinjuku, an office district with high-end hotel bars and restaurants.
We hope you will enjoy the different types of night views we present here!
We have carefully selected night view spots that can be enjoyed outdoors for free.
We will introduce various aspects of the city, including observation rooms in buildings where people working for the government work, gardens on the rooftops of famous department stores, and pedestrian bridges where you can casually drop by.
Whether you are traveling with your family, friends, lover, or alone, you are sure to have fun!

From the observation deck, you can view not only the buildings in Nishi-Shinjuku, but also other famous landmarks in Tokyo outside of Shinjuku.

Garden on the rooftop of a famous department store | Shinjuku Takashimaya Times Square
Rooftop garden on the 13th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya. It is a relaxing space with lots of greenery and a great view.
During the Christmas season, the garden is decorated with illuminations, creating a romantic atmosphere along with the night view.
It is a good place to stop by after having a meal at one of the restaurants in Shinjuku Takashimaya Times Square.

This high-rise office building boasts 50 floors above ground and a height of approximately 210 meters.
This lobby is freely accessible not only to the tenants of the building, but also to outsiders.
Although the entire floor is an observation deck, it does not offer a 360-degree view of the landscape, but only a portion of it facing west.
However, the view of Shinjuku Island Tower, Shinjuku Mitsui Building, and other buildings in front of you is yours to enjoy.

Easy-to-navigate pedestrian bridge | Shintoshin Pedestrian Bridge
The last place I would like to introduce to you is a place with a completely different flavor from the three skyscrapers so far.
It is a pedestrian bridge called the New City Center Pedestrian Bridge.
You can enjoy the view of the shining east side of the city and the west side where skyscrapers stand in a row.
