Notes
Shinjuku is divided into Higashi (east) and Nishi (west) Shinjuku by the train lines that run through Shinjuku Station on the Yamanote Line. Nishi Shinjuku in particular exudes wealth and power with its towering skyscrapers. Among them are the majestic twin-towered Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings, or ‘Tocho’, designed by the legendary architect Kenzo Tange, and occupied during the day by over 13,000 city administrative workers.
