Designed as a large-format square A3 sheet folded into eight panels, the double-sided color print combines editorial curation with practical navigation. One side introduces carefully selected destinations — from shrines and parks to department store food halls, ramen counters, cafés, and cultural landmarks — reflecting the layered character of Shinjuku.

The guide also includes essential Japanese phrases written in Romanized form, such as “wakarimasen” (I don’t understand) and “osusume wa nan desu ka?” (What do you recommend?), offering visitors simple tools for everyday interaction.

The reverse side unfolds into an original illustrated map centered around Shinjuku Station, extending west to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and south toward Shinjuku Gyoen. Shopping, restaurants, cafés, hotels, and landmarks are categorized for intuitive use, encouraging visitors to navigate the district on foot.

As a media platform exploring Japan through fashion, design, craft, food, and travel, FASHION HEADLINE approaches Shinjuku not merely as a tourist destination, but as a cultural landscape. “SHINJUKU MAP & CITY GUIDE” is an extension of that editorial vision — a printed entry point into the district’s atmosphere and everyday life.

If the SHINJUKU MAP & CITY GUIDE helps you discover the streets of Shinjuku, the MITSUKOSHI ISETAN JAPAN App can be a helpful digital companion. Designed for international travelers, it offers brand listings, event updates, restaurant information, and store guides for Mitsukoshi Isetan department stores across Japan—useful when your walk leads you from the city’s streets into its landmark shopping spaces.

If you find yourself in Shinjuku, pick up a copy and explore the city through a curated lens.
