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.

Navigation from the Narita Express platform to the West Exit ( and others) at Shinjuku Station

Since the last schedule revision Narita Express has come to operate on track #5 and 6, which are rather isolated location-wise, and it will take 15 to 20 minutes from the platform to the west exit on foot (500 meters). From the west exit you can access Keio Plaza Hotel, Hyatt Regency Tokyo and Hilton Tokyo. The platform is near Yoyogi Station rather than Shinjuku itself. I wonder if it should be called a part of Shinjuku Station...

If you head to the New South or the Southern Terrace Exit, go up this escalator.

After alighting from the Narita Express, go down by escalator located at the forward end of the track.




Walk down this underground walkway.




Keep walking.




And more...

If you get out of the station premises from the South Exit, use this elevator.

After clearing the narrow walkway, go diagonally forward right following the signpost.




Straight on.




And straight on.




Then at the next corner turn to the left and go straight.




Keep walking.




Finally you made it.


If you are discouraged to do this walk to see these images, you might alight from Narita Express at Tokyo and change to the Chuo Line to Shinjuku. It involves much less walk, and nearly all the Chuo Line trains launch at Tokyo Station so that you can secure a seat to Shinjuku. Try to board the front carriages such as car #10 or 9 in order to quickly access the downward stairs at Shinjuku. Then it's a fifty-meter walk to the west exit.


Transfer at Tokyo Station


Shinjuku Station is often packed as the following images.
