Chloe Bar: Maid cafe Chloe Bar
Mr.Sparkle Says: When most people think of maid cafes the east side of Tokyo, specifically Akihabara, comes to mind. What this little gem is doing all the way out in Shinjuku in the middle of Kabukicho (Korean town) is anyone’s guess. Certainly this place is better than the average maid café...
Any pub in Shinjuku: Pubbing in Shinjuku
bpacker Says: There's lots of drinking joints around this place. So check them out, you'll be spoilt for choices as there's a pub that is themed almost everything. Saw lots of Bavarian pubs, pubs offering "live" oldies, pubs that only offer music from the Beatles, etc etc.Japanese beer is...

dai-akhihabara: Buying electronic goods

Around Shinjuku Station: Shopping in Shinjuku

Playin' Pachinko ( Japanese Pin Ball )
bpacker Says: If you're ever in Japan, do see if you understand why the folks over there are crazy over Pachinko! Pop by one of these shops with those little slot machines and watch grown men and women hynoptise themselves - simply by watching little metal balls dribble down an upright...
Buying a Chihuahua in Kabuki-Cho
bpacker Says: I took a stroll around in Kabuki-Cho ( The infamous red-light district of Shinjuku) but so much for the sleeze. Instead of finding night-walkers, I found a store that sells Chihuahuas for US$1500+ and other exotic pets. Hmmm, strange. Well perhaps not so strange, it was only...
