so hey GRRRtravelers, here we are in Shinjuku! Shinjuku is wild. It's crazy,
there's a lot of lights about it activity it's known for being a place with all the
night length bars and a little bit of a penis know one of the biggest red-light districts in
Japan Shinjuku is known as the red-light district of Tokyo but you wouldn't guess it just walking
around because it all goes on underground by day it's a shopping district and a busy metro
hub but at night the neon lights go on and it's a lively and colorful nightlife district follow the
grilled smoke of izakaya Shops at piss alley or try to get into one of the exclusive members-only
bars at golden gai here's some things to know and do when you visit Shinjuku first up we have
Shinjuku Station Tokyo's largest and busiest metro station in 2007 it was regarded as a
world's busiest transport hub according to the Guinness Book of World Records it's estimated
that over 3.6 million people pass through the station a day and there are over 200 exits
so these are the smoking areas in Japan
that's the first to be story McDonald's XE no four story it's a first for story McDonald's I've seen
there we're going to go there next if you want to feel like you're traveling back to post-war
Japan head over to omoide yokocho or what locals lovingly refer to as piss a li it got its name due
to the fact that there was only one bathroom and drunken locals would urinate in the alley it is an
alley lined with over 70 izakaya shops seducing you through the aroma of barbecue yakitori or
grilled chicken scores another specialty of this area is Matsui grilled animal organs
you see like really a lap bar like drinking
really hit together
in certain area of the good there's one toilet Mitali and that way that's why totally the alley
is really tight and smoky so just beware but the robot is smells it come from this joint
has a lot of fun theme restaurant bars the robot restaurant is no exception it's a
live performance with robotic characters you have 8,000 yen to splurge on nightly
entertainment this spot would be a great option all these played third thing one
thing to note about is that it's got its fun side it's a party inside but
it's also got a little bit of inside and you have to be careful around this area
next up is Kabukicho an infamous district in Shinjuku where it's rumored that the
streets are run by the Yakuza or Japanese mafia yokai restaurants and bars host and
hostess clubs love hotels and know where to look adult services Japan
is relatively safe but one must still be a little careful here look at those lights
we're going on here in kabukicho you'll find a healthy amount of host and hostess
bars to entertain and lonely locals there like companion bars no sexual services are
exchanged at these bars but clientele will pay large sums of money to spend time with a host
the popularity of some hosts have raised them to celebrity status in this area
this is my job my occupation is beautiful the hosts are actually
you'll see on this banner right here it looks like a boyband but it's actually
oh wow okay so right here we're going to look
at a banner of popularity Joe as well as how much they make
so now we are in the area of Kabukicho which is mostly love motels and you'll
have like different tiers of love hotels the cost dependent upon the hours stay
anywhere from like three to five hours to like overnight some of them can be pretty
catchy some can be like pretty like lavish this is why typing let's hope the Sony
rest stay some of these lovely motels operate around the idea
of secrecy and they will have I guess services where you don't need to check
envision look physically so this one you can choose it has a number
so that you can choose which you want to to rent for the evening or the hour
right in the middle of Shinjuku Kabukicho district he can find Godzilla road where
a huge Godzilla looks over the city from the 8th floor of hotel grocery Golden gai
is a unique area of six tiny alleys blind by almost 200 tiny bars they have in this area
oh the guy has several rolls there are like little long alleys like
this and then you can cut through a little squeeze the alleys like this
walking down you definitely feel at the age to it a lot of bars like
together like uh throw up there's
and public age to it actually
it almost feels like a secret club and for some bars it kind of used their bar survey
that cater only to regulars and then there are bars that are a little more open to
foreigners you'll be able to tell what's four foreigners basically by the vibe assigned the
rule of thumb is if you've seen signs in English that it's probably foreign friendly
the assign only Japanese then there's a high probability it's only for the Japanese
no joy no tax wondering if you yet charge is 1000 yen so all of the buyers here have their
own separate cause so we'll charge a cover charge so we'll be tax free so heart some will allow
foreigners others my only welcome members so it's best to always look at the sign and we didn't see
if you can meet the requirements greater where the monkey's head or a manga cafe and actually
slept at one of these nothing basically what they are is like a cafe or an internet cafe for people
who love packages that run anywhere from three hours to five hours to entire night definitely
sleep here which I did there are facilities that you have showers you know like different
options anywhere from like a recliner chair to like a little area with your own computer
and sleeping area it's kind of cool and if I have time on this trip I will probably try and
stay what I mean mahmu is one of the popular or more reputable ones the quality really ranges
from blades today so I can't tell you that you don't even know that this is No a fairly good
Ram if all of them are you have like one night eight hours drinks hot drinks free Wi-Fi comic
books these places to charge your battery shower I'm sure that is overnight these are some three
I stayed at one of these I stayed in one of it wasn't a mambo but was more like the provides
video campaign which I actually really loved that's an option if you're like backpacking
on a major metabolic budget that's what I did that is how I did my $30 a day Japan
at around 11:30 right now and massive crowd pretty soon maybe gets fouled so everyone's
rushing just to make sure that they they make it to their train on time like rats oh my god
at least we know that there are rats that live in Japan Oh
minocycline my chain said there's like a shitload of it
I've never seen so many rats in one area other than like in a little pet store
and even New York and New York and giant rat but not like old family or tribe if
