Shinjuku Station (新宿駅 Shinjuku-eki) is a major railway station in Shinjuku and Shibuya wards in Tokyo, Japan.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia about the busiest railway station in the world, where we will arrive jetlagged after a 17 hour trip. I’ve highlighted some of the more ridiculous facts.
Serving as the main connecting hub for rail traffic between Tokyo's special wards and Western Tokyo on inter-city rail, commuter rail, and metro lines, the station was used by an average of 3.64 million people per day in 2007, making it, by far, the world's busiest transport hub (and registered as such with Guinness World Records). The station has 36 platforms. Including an underground arcade, there are well over 200 exits.
Here is a schematic of some sort. . .
. . .and another map?
Wish us luck. Our hotel for the first night is listed as being a quarter mile from the station but on the map it looks like it is attached to the station.
