Shinjuku. Where business gets done.
Business & professional services: Nishi-Shinjuku’s towers, legal and accounting by the civic tower, and small businesses in Golden Gai and Omoide Yokochō.
The story of Shinjuku
Shinjuku is two cities stacked together: the skyscrapers of Nishi-Shinjuku where deals are signed, and the tiny bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokochō where those deals were first talked about over a drink. Its station is the busiest in the world.
In CollaboTokyo, Shinjuku is business and professional services: legal and accounting by the civic tower, careers and mentoring by Shinjuku Gyoen, small business and community organisers in Golden Gai, and recruitment at Southern Terrace.
Come here for the partner, the advisor or the hire that gets you to the next stage — and for the frank conversations that happen in a lantern-lit alley.
