About this webcam
Kabukicho in Shinjuku is Tokyo's best-known nightlife district. This cam looks down on the Kabukicho intersection on Yasukuni-dori from the roof of the Teikei headquarters, at the district's southern edge. The area is packed with restaurants, izakaya, karaoke bars, arcades and cinemas, and it stays busy long after most of the city has gone to sleep.
The name comes from a plan after World War II to build a kabuki theater here. The theater never opened, but the name stuck. Today the district's landmarks include the giant Godzilla head on the Shinjuku Toho Building and the Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. The tiny bars of Golden Gai are on the district's eastern edge, and the old alley of Omoide Yokocho is a short walk away.
Best time to watch: Kabukicho comes alive after dark. The busiest time is a Friday or Saturday night, from about 8 p.m. to midnight Tokyo time. During the day, the streets are much quieter.
