Kabukichō Ichibangai Gate
歌舞伎町一番街
Shinjuku, Tokyo · 東京
The lit archway into Kabukichō, Asia’s densest entertainment district — a grid of bars, arcades, cinemas and eight thousand signs.
Why it’s worth it
The gate is the photograph. Beyond it, stay on the main lanes, ignore anyone who approaches you on the street, and never follow a tout into a bar.
