On our last day in Tokyo, we found that there was a city bus service that move around linking the east and west part of Shinjuku. Though the service is not free, it provided much convenience for us as there was a bus stop right in front of the hotel that we were staying. Else, we would have to walk 10 to 15 minutes from the Shinjuku Station back to the hotel again. It's very tiring to walk back with a heavy bag filled with purchase and my daughter's basic items.
If you are visiting Tokyo and happen to stay in the Shinjuku area, you may want to consider using the service. It charges 100 yen per person (ie S$1.5 to S$1.6). The bus was very comfortable and nice. It was also pretty warm inside :-) However, the bus driver on that trip was not so friendly. There are 10 stops in the whole journey and it gives visitors a good orientation / introduction of the Shinjuku area. Each bus stop stand also printed the estimated arrival time of the bus and the whole journey. Pretty informative.
If you are going to the main avaShinjuku train station, alight at bus stop 1;
If you are going to the red light district, alight at bus stop 2;
If you are going to the Times Square, alight at bus stop 4;
If you are staying in Shinjuku Washington hotel, alight at bus stop 6;
etc
For more information, you can access its website , available in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. It is strange that the hotel din share the services with us, ie for their customers ?
