Shinjuku straddles the Musashino Terrace and the lowlands of the Kanda River in western Tokyo, a position that has helped shape its mix of major rail corridors, dense commercial streets and quieter residential quarters. Shinjuku Station is one of the world’s busiest railway hubs, making the district a key meeting point in the capital. Nearby, Shinjuku Gyoen combines Japanese, English landscape and French formal garden traditions on the grounds of a former imperial garden. The twin-towered Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, designed by Kenzo Tange, remains a defining feature of the western skyline.
