Shinjuku Guide

Although the JR Shinjuku Station platforms and rail lines generally run north to south, the areas around the station can be divided into the West Exit, East Exit and South Exit areas. There are a lot of interconnecting passages, which can get confusing. Here are some easy directions on different ways to get from the West Exit to the South Exit, and from the South Exit to the East Exit.

West Exit to South Exit -
Convenient with Great Shopping Along the Way If You Take Mosaic Street!

Go out of the West Exit on the ground-level and turn left. Next to the Odakyu Department Store is a sloping pedestrian walkway called Mosaic Street. You will pass by the Shinjuku Mylord Department Store before arriving at the South Exit. If you cross the street, you can get to Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal (SEBT), Southern Terrace and Takashimaya Times Square.

South Exit to East Exit -
A Direct Connection via JR Shinjuku Station's Southeast Exit!

If you go out of the South Exit, turn left and descend the large stairway at the JR Shinjuku Southeast Exit. Turn left and pass by Flags. Keep going, and you will soon arrive at the East Exit.
