This review focuses on the south exit of Shinjuku Station.

There is a ticket gate in the station building built directly above the railroad tracks, and National Route 20 (Koshu Kaido) runs right in front of it. The station building is sandwiched between shopping buildings LUMINE 1 and 2 on the left and right sides.

On the south exit side, there are five ticket gates: the south ticket gate, the Koshu Kaido ticket gate, the new south ticket gate, the Miraina Tower ticket gate, and the southeast ticket gate. If you are going for the first time, I think it will be easier to get your bearings if you go to the ground from the south ticket gate.

[Note] Regarding taxi use

The wide road in front of you after exiting the ticket gate is National Route 20 (Koshu Kaido), but this area is a no-parking area all day long, so you cannot get on or off the taxi. Even if you raise your hand, the taxi will not stop because you will be charged a traffic violation. If you would like to take a taxi, cross the crosswalk in front of the south exit ticket gate, and there is a taxi stand on the second floor of the Busta, where the express bus stop is located. Please note that even if you want to get off the taxi in front of the south exit ticket gate of Shinjuku Station, you will be taken to the second floor of the [busta].

Shinjuku Station is a very large facility and has a complicated structure, so it can be easy to get lost if you are using it for the first time, but there is free Wi-Fi everywhere, so you can use your smartphone's MAP to get around quickly without getting lost. .
