Shinjuku station is considered the world's busiest train
station. The JR station alone handles around 1.5 million passengers per
day. Then add the Odakyu, Keio and 3 subway lines, the entire complex
handles 3.4 million/day. Nearby Seibu Shinjuku stations adds another
185,000/day.
It is definitely a people watching spot. Rush hours are simply
insane, especially the Yamanote and Chuo line platforms. It is also a
station not for the timid. There are corridors everywhere, but not all
are connected and the layout is confusing, even for locals. |
