Navigation from JR Shinjuku Station to Shinjuku Keio Highway Bus Terminal

Shinjuku Keio Highway Bus Terminal

Quite a few buses operate at Shinjuku Keio Highway Bus Terminal for Mt Fuji etc. This time I'd direct you from JR Shinjuku Station to the bus depot.

The path on the map

We are heading in the direction of Keio Line Ticket Gate from Central East Ticket Gate area walking the second right underground hallway colored in blue on the map.





Walk down the hallway following the signposts toward Central West Exit.



This is Central West Exit. It might be useful for those who head to Keio Plaza Hotel or Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. But we don't exit from here this time.



Walk toward Keio Shinjuku Station.





Go downstairs and walk down another hallway, then go upstairs.



Then we clear the other Central West Exit.





As soon as you see this signpost, go upstairs to the ground level.



You'll find the bus depot on your left soon after you reach the ground level. The red neon is Yodobashi Camera's, and you see Keio Plaza Hotel over there.

Those who go to Kadoya Hotel, walk down this street, cross the street and turn to the left at the corner with a Lowson. Then you're there.

Access to Keio Plaza Hotel from Shinjuku Station

Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku is one of the very reputable hotels in Tokyo. Because of it's huge capacity on top, many tourists stay there. I'll feature the way to there from inside JR Shinjuku Station via West exit.

I covered other people's faces on the images to protect their privacy. I'm sorry for lowering the quality of the photos...

For those who head to Keio Plaza Shinjuku from Narita Airport, I'd also recommend using the limousine bus besides the Narita Express. According to a rep at Limousine Bus company, it's not always the case the duration from NRT to Keio Plaza exceeds 2 hours. The convenience that you can directly get to the hotel from the airport is hard to beat in one hand.

Walk down the hallway located on the first right on the Shinjuku Station map toward the west gate.



Clear the west exit.



If you're not confident on how to get to the hotel, inquire the police officer of the way. Even though they don't speak English, with only the word of your destination they will understand and assist you.



Follow the signboard directions.



Keep walking on the left side of the roundabout. In case your luggage is heavy, and you don't feel like walking anymore, catch a taxi from the rank on the right of this photo. It's slightly less than 10 minutes walk from here.



Go on walking.



Walk down until you get out of this underground walkway, then you will soon spot Keio Plaza on your left.

Enjoy your stay!

These stairs lead you to Southern Terrace Exit. The escalator goes only downward until 18:00hrs, so you have to go up stairs lugging your luggage if you arrive before 18:00.

At the first corner, turn to the right.



At the next corner, turn to the left.
