Che cosa c’è nei paraggi

I luoghi raccontati più vicini, con la distanza in linea d’aria da qui.

  • 2.2 km

    Shinjuku Golden Gai

    This maze of tiny two-story bars began with postwar black-market traders and later became an unlicensed red-light district. After prostitution was outlawed in 1958, its cramped rooms became refuges for writers, filmmakers and theater people; regulars Kenji Nakagami and Ryuzo Saki won the Akutagawa and Naoki prizes simultaneously in 1976, sealing the district's bohemian reputation.

  • 2.2 km

    Hanazono Shrine

    In the summer of 1967, Juro Kara's Situation Theatre erected its first Red Tent in the shrine precincts, rejecting conventional playhouses for a temporary, carnivalesque stage. The performances made this working shrine one of the foundational locations of Japan's angura theater movement, and Red Tent productions have continued to return.

  • 2.3 km

    Kabukicho

    Japan's largest entertainment district, named after a kabuki theatre that was never built; the Godzilla head looks down from the Toho building.

  • 2.6 km

    Omoide Yokocho

    «Memory Lane» by Shinjuku's west exit: two alleys of tiny yakitori counters left over from the post-war black market.

  • 2.6 km

    Shinjuku Gyoen

    Shinjuku Gyoen is best known for its beautiful gardens and cherry blossoms.

  • 2.7 km

    Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens

    One of Tokyo's oldest daimyo gardens combines Japanese scenery with Chinese literary and landscape references favored by the Mito Tokugawa family.
