Scenes of Shinjuku Tokyo

Giant LCD screens display commercials near train stations, space is scarce, Japaneses people learnt to utilise it intelligently
















Alleyways near train stations packed with small cafes, restaurants & bars.


There are also girl-bars, however, Japanese people are liberal and they don’t seem to have objections towards this type of entertainment where young ladies serve drinks to business men.

Shijuku is crowded, but certainly a fun place to visit.
