Stayed here for a bit. Lots of Korean shops and restaurants. A very lively area. The walk to both Metro and JR was quite far from this area.

The area is just 10mins walk from Shinjuku. It is getting hot and cool by big Korean waves. Sometimes I visit here for just hang out w friends and feel something different air. You can see lots of Korean signs and Korean everywhere not only on street but also inside restaurants. IT'S JUST LIKE A KOREA. Even some people can't... More

Busy and buzzing. Great to walk around, with lots of shops and restaurants. All restaurants have pictures of the food which is great if you do not understand the language.

I stayed here for a good part of ten days. It's Korea Town, but not like Korea (or Seoul, at least) at all in terms of vibe.

This is a very popular area for people of all ages to... More

Very different part of Tokyo, a bit grotty and definately gritty.

Shin okubo is the next stop from Shinjuku on the Yamanote line. It is used to not be a great area for woman walk around. At night ,you could see foreigh prostitues around there.But thing are different today. There are trendy Korean towns for woman who like Korean music and drama. When you exit Shin okubo station,there is nomally a... More
