#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 There is a hidden pork chop restaurant in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, with a Tabelog rating of 3.91. The owner of this restaurant has an extraordinary passion for pork and makes no compromises in the choice of ingredients. The restaurant's specialty lies in its strict pork selection process. The store only uses 12 to 13 types of premium pork from over 150 brands from all over the country, which makes every bite of fried pork chop full of unique flavor. Each cut of pork is carefully selected to ensure its quality and taste meet the highest standards. The production process of fried pork chops is also very particular. Each slice of pork is meticulously fried twice, which not only makes the outside crispy but also keeps the inside tender and juicy. The store has strict requirements on the quality of breadcrumbs and oil, which makes the taste of fried pork chops more perfect. 🍽️Restaurant: KATSU PRIPO 📍Address: 2F, G3 Building, 1-10-3 Kabukicho, Shinjuku District, Tokyo #JapanTravel #JapaneseFood #TokyoFood

Kabukichou has undergone a lot of changes in recent years, but things are gearing up again. Kabukichou Tower is a shiny new entertainment complex that opened in 2023 to a lot of fanfare. It has a food hall, game center, escape room, live music venue, and hotels all in one building. Where is Kabukichou? Kabukichou is located within Shinjuku Ward in central Tokyo. The neighborhood itself is just a 10-minute walk north-east of Shinjuku Station. What is Kabukichou like? Kabukichou is one of those places where the vibe changes significantly depending on the time and day of the week. As a nightlife district, it’s most lively in the evenings and busiest on Friday and Saturday nights. During the day, it’s a lot quieter, however some entertainment businesses like Toho Cinema, Kabukichou Tower, and Tokyo Mystery Circus are also open during the day. Poking out from behind the Toho Cinema complex of Kabukichou the 12m tall head very occasionally roars, and is actually a really handy meeting place. A tribute to the much loved creation of Toho themselves, Godzilla is an official tourism ambassador and special resident of Shinjuku #tokyotrip

March 2018 #TokyoTravel There is a place called Tokyo's biggest entertainment district near Shinjuku where my accommodation is. It is #Kabukicho ( #歌舞伎町 )!! Since I came to Tokyo, I can't actually enjoy the entertainment, but it is only natural to walk around and feel the atmosphere. After passing the forest of buildings with Ultraman advertisement banners that just reminded me of Japan, I arrived at the entrance to Kabukicho, which has a unique red shape that I had seen so many times while searching for travel information. As I walked inside, the colorful signs piled up in layers caught my eye. The huge crowds that matched it and the so-called beggars trying to attract them were also unique. #Japan #JapanTravel #WorldTravel #Tokyo #Tokyo #東京

Basement Rock Bar in Kabukicho Walking around and stumbling upon a small shop sign, we like rock music anyway. The owner was very welcoming and had a lot of old rock and metal songs. The drinks weren't too expensive and you could ask for free songs when ordering a drink. It was so much fun. It felt like going to a rock pub with friends who like the same things. Looking at the time again, hours had passed. It was so much fun. For those who like heavy, exciting music, I highly recommend it. If you pass by, you should try it. #Japan #Shinjuku #Kabukicho #japantravel #Shinjuku #Kabukicho #TokyoTravel #Tokyo #Japan #JapanTokyo

Za Bar is located inside Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, a popular spot in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo. This is a place where you can relax and enjoy drinks, cocktails, coffee, etc. while taking in the view of Nishi-Shinjuku and the nightscape. The counter is lined with bottles of Ne10, a craft gin created to coincide with the opening of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. They also sell original non-alcoholic cocktails. Located on the 6th floor of Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, we used it between shows. There are no seats. You can only use the counter, but the original non-alcoholic cocktails are served in takeaway containers, so you can take them home with you.

I walked from the footbridge at Shinjuku Station to Kabukicho. There's a lot to see, such as skyscrapers and the night view of buildings, so it's fun just to walk around at night and look at the sights. Kabukicho used to have a slightly dangerous atmosphere, but now there are many tourists and I think it's safer.

Kabukicho is a famous entertainment district best known for nightlife. Small clubs, smoky pubs, and late-night snack bars are crammed into lantern-lit alleys in Golden Gai. Robot Restaurant hosts kitschy sci-fi dinner shows, while rock bands play at Marz and Ashibe Hall. Daytime visitors can dress up in warrior armor at the Samurai Museum and learn sneaky feudal combat tactics at the Ninja Trick House. In Night it looks amazing with neon lights and lot of crowd. You can go to any theme restaurants where restaurant staff is dressed up in theme characters. This place looks like some anime or video game video. There are many arcade shops also in the area. It’s a life time experience. #japan #kabukicho #tokyo #night #nightlife

After returning to Shinjuku from the Fuji Shibazakura Festival, I looked for a place to have dinner near the hotel. I passed by the Isomaru Suisan Shinjuku Kabukicho Higashi-dori branch and saw that there were many diners. I had also read many good reviews online before leaving, so I decided to give it a try. There is a large water tank at the entrance of the restaurant, which contains different kinds of seafood. Appetizers are 399 yen (about HK$28) each, and you will be charged if you don't eat them. My favorite waffle of the night was the Crab Miso Kora Yaki (499 yen/about HK$35). The crab roe was super sweet and the flavor was rich, no wonder it became a popular item. My mother ordered the grilled tuna bone-in (899 yen/about HK$63). She didn't have to grill it herself, but it tasted great and the portion was large, so it was very worthwhile. The live shellfish platter (1,988 yen/about HK$140) was a bit disappointing, as both conches tasted bitter. Grilled rice balls (399 yen/about HK$28) are grilled slowly with your own sauce. Wof personally thinks that restaurants can provide grilling tips or help customers grill so that customers can taste the best flavor of various ingredients. More importantly, they should improve the exhaust system in the store. Isomaru Suisan (Kabukicho Higashi-dori branch) Address: 1-6-14 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 2nd Street Opening hours: 24 hours Transportation: 5-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station, 3-minute walk from Subway Marunouchi Line Shinjuku Station, 4-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station #OverseasTravel#foodie

Although Kabukichou in Shinjiku is notorious as a red light district, there are also lots of small shops and restaurants, like BBQ restaurants here.

Tokyo Kabukicho (Pilgrimage Series) From the animated film that took Korea by storm, ‘Your Name’ to its sequel, ‘Weathering with You’! Are you ready to go into the places in the movies? The second installment of the ‘Tokyo Pilgrimage Travel Series’, introducing five places of pilgrimage to the movies by director Makoto Shinkai that we visited while traveling around Tokyo, Japan, is now starting! Location: 2-chōme-27 Kabukichō, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0021 How to get there: Take the Shinjuku Line to Seibu Shinjuku Station - 550 m from the North Exit of Seibu Shinjuku Station (6-minute walk) Take the Shinjuku Station - 550 m from Exit B13 of Shinjuku Station (6-minute walk) Pilgrimage site: Kabukicho Atami Building Time required from major locations: Shibuya Station - Take the Yamanote Line to Shinjuku Station, 550 m from Exit B13 of Shinjuku Station (18 minutes total) Tokyo Station - Take the Marunouchi Line to Shinjuku Station, 550 m from Exit B13 of Shinjuku Station (26 minutes total) The second location in the Shinkai Makoto Pilgrimage series that we will introduce today is This is Tokyo Kabukicho! Kabukicho is Japan's largest entertainment district and tourist attraction located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. When you pass through the large gate that says 'Kabukicho 1-chome' (Kabukicho 1-bangai), you will see hundreds of signs attached to the exterior walls of buildings and dozens of restaurants, game centers, and bars lined up in a row on Kabukicho 1-bangai. However, if you go past the main street and enter the alleys, you will see why this place is nicknamed Japan's largest entertainment district. This is because you can see with your own eyes the atmosphere of the street that is somewhat different from the main street and the many adult businesses such as bars and host clubs scattered everywhere. In fact, some of the back alleys of Kabukicho are often the site of fights between yakuza and gun accidents. Despite this appearance, Kabukicho has established itself as Tokyo's largest entertainment district and one of Tokyo's famous tourist attractions, thanks to the countless signs and neon signs that line the exterior walls of the buildings in the alleys, and the night view filled with people. Because it is an area with two contrasting images, Kabukicho has appeared as the background for various creative works such as books and movies, and as a result, some areas of Kabukicho have gone beyond general tourist attractions and attracted many tourists as a "pilgrimage" site. In the movie "Weathering with You," which tells the story of a runaway boy named "Hodaka" who comes to Tokyo and meets a girl with mysterious abilities named "Hina," Kabukicho appears as the place where the male protagonist Hodaka accidentally picks up a gun at the beginning of the film, and also as the background of the place where Hodaka first meets the stray cat "Ame." As mentioned above, there are frequent shooting incidents in Kabukicho and the public safety of Kabukicho is not good, so it seems that the reason Kabukicho was chosen as the background for the incidents in the movie is obvious. If you exit Exit B13 of Shinjuku Station, the ‘world’s busiest station’ with hundreds of exits, you will arrive at the beginning of the Kabukicho alley. Since Kabukicho has spiderweb-like alleys, I recommend that you input the address into Google Maps in advance and follow the route on Google Maps carefully before entering the alley. If you walk for about 6 minutes, you will arrive at the Kabukicho Atami Building, which appeared as the background of the movie. You can see the same background as the neon signs in the back alleys of Tokyo in the rain in the movie, including the exterior walls of the building, the signboards, and the location of the vending machines. If you crouch down in front of the building entrance like in the movie or visit here on a rainy day, you will feel like you have entered the movie! #MovieFilmingLocation #JapanTravel #TokyoTravel #Kabukicho #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotSpot #jhtour

To say that Shinjuku is the most representative place, it should be regarded as a famous overseas Kabukicho. As soon as I approached, there were a lot of young guys on the road. I didn't take care of me when I saw the camera. According to the comrades who have consumed the feedback, the water in this place is very deep. Please try to find out what the gay men remember, mysterious smile. I used to be in the mood of "coming here", and I took a picture with one hand and took the camera with one hand. I liked the two blind shots.

When it comes to Kabukicho, many peoples first reaction is that it will not be a place for the wind and moon. But in fact, Kabukicho in Shinjuku is a popular street for tourists and tourists. The whole area is neon flashing and lively at night, and the game hall, karaoke, bar, etc. all use eye-catching signs to attract passing eyes. And there are many delicious foods nearby, such as the old-fashioned sushi restaurant, a sashimi rice bowl, full of Q-bomb seafood, absolutely satisfying.

Recommended points ✔️The soup is rich, so even if you add more vegetables, it doesn't feel thin. ・Small ramen, 250g noodles, 1,150 yen The noodles are crunchy, and the soup is appetizing. This is the taste of Jiro. The pork slices are so tender that they crumble when you pick them up with your chopsticks. The loose pork slices mix well with the vegetables, noodles, and soup. If you add more vegetables, the soup will become thinner, but since the soup is a little thick to start with, it doesn't feel thin even if you add more. ・More (charged) 150 yen Served with a huge pile of garlic and vegetables! The volume is very filling. It's located in a prime location in Kabukicho, so it's easy to get to, and it's also within walking distance of the east exit of Shinjuku Station, so it's well located. 《BUTAKIN Kabukicho》 1-11-8 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160-0021 Kabukicho Building TC No. 7 ----------------- Full of great gourmet and travel information!!
