SHINJUKU

Out of the fifty busiest train stations in the world, forty-five are in Japan. And Shinjuku, with almost four million users a day, wins hands down! It has a whopping thirty-six platforms, a myriad of maze-like passageways and more than two hundred exits. So here goes the challenge: pop on these oversized earrings, face up to this tangle of destinations, connections, operators and ever-so-cryptic timetables, and if in the end you ultimately achieve your goal, you’re the lucky one!
