Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, skyscraper business hotels, and camera stores.

South Exit

Lumine shopping malls, Shinkansen link tracks, and Busta Bus Terminal.

Coin Lockers Status & Hacks

Mega locker banks are located along the Central Underground Corridor. The Hack: If all station lockers display red busy lights, walk directly to the 4th floor of Busta Shinjuku to use the staffed baggage desk.

Food & Shopping Hotspots

Ekinaka (inside ticket gates) dining alleys. Grab a quick standing-soba bowl or bento box on Platform 13/14 without exiting the station gates.

Transfers Workflow

Changing from JR Lines to the Odakyu or Keio lines requires passing through a specialized dual-ticket transfer gate (Renraku-guchi). Tap your digital IC card once to close the JR ride and open the private line ride simultaneously.

Hotels Nearby

Direct underground tunnel access routes to Keio Plaza Hotel and Hotel Gracery (Godzilla Tower) to avoid street-level rain or crowds.
