I wish I had seen this a week ago when I was in Tokyo and somehow exited at the wrong exit (the Koshu Kaido Gate) and had to walk a long way around to actually get to where I had to be.

Thank you for the advice! 😊 We are visiting Japan (Tokyo, Nikko, and Kamakura) for our honeymoon this fall and this video is very helpful for navigating one of the main stations! 😊

@AdventuresWithTodd 1 year ago

Thanks so much. So … If I arrive from the Airport on the N’EX train I get of at the New South Gate Entrance on the second floor. My hotel is on the West Side called Sunroute Plaza Hotel. What is the easiest way to walk there? Do exit the New South Gate Entrance or go down to The Basement Floor B1F and exit the West Gate on B1F. If yes how far is the walk to Sunroute Plaza Hotel?

Thanks from Newfoundland

I want to go to BOOKOFF SUPER BAZAAR Tsunashima from Shinjuku. It says to use Futotoshin line. Quai 1/2. What is that? 1 or 2? and it is south, east, north? ....

Hi thank you for your video, I will be traveling to Tokyo and stay at Kadoya Hotel. Is it near the West Gate? I saw the video when you exit the West Gate and still under construction, is that the exit that near the hotel? Also , is it true there are many exit doors in Shinjuku Station?

Thank you from Indonesia
