if i recall right it is even the busiest in the world with over 2 millionen people passing through a day. Other stations might be bigger ( i think Nagoya is) but Shinjuku is hard to navigate for beginners. Its ok as long as you stay insinde, you can follow the signs, but meeting with you friend or searching a specific exit is difficult the first times.

Anyone have any good maps of the station? I found a few for other stations in Tokyo but could for this one. We're going to be based out of Shinjuku so I'd be interested for our trip. Thanks!

Shinjinku station is HUGE over 150 exits alone. Had lots of fun trying various ones out when I was there this year.

I found it very easy to get around in with so many visable landmarks but finding an exact place can be tricky.

Doesn't really help I know.

I am sooo exited I got to go to the GazettE's tour final in Saitama. it was awsome i love their music. i had a nose bleed seat but i could still see great. i do have to explain something though, i am a 5' 5'' long blond hair green eyed american, that kinda tells you i stood out just a little bit while there, but it was cool i like trying and feeling new things.

So basically the concert was GREAT!!!

loves to GazettE

I just got a bike today and what happens i get lost even a cop said i was too far from where i was headed. (just my luck

) but it worked out ok found where i was headed after about 4 hours of riding/walking. only had 1 colision and 1 near miss

so not to bad i think for my first day of riding around Tokyo, i haven't quite figured which comes first in importance pedestrian or biker... i guess ped. but not sure. i'm riding tomorrow, hopefully no hits *crosses fingures*

YAY I made it to the end of the week without hitting anyone else I'm so proud :-D so yeah biking is fun especially when you get used to it and figure out what you're supposed to do :-)

Jnekolove, it seems to be interesting, let us know, how does the student housing in Japan look like (you can try www.seemyliving.com). I´m definitely interested, while i do live in a different part of the globe and was spending my studies at "common" european colleges. I´m sure many of european educated people would be also curious.

Regards

Robert
