"Shinjuku Station to Hotel Sunroute Plaza" - November 2nd, 2009

The last half of this should stay accurate for some time, but the first half may well change fairly soon. The south exit area of Shinjuku Station (actually in Shibuya by address) is in the middle of a long-term construction project. Also note that the Narita Express train is on its way *to* Narita, so the trains coming *from* Narita should be arriving on the other side of the platform.

Thank you for this post! We are planning to stay in Sunroute Plaza this April and your video gave me some perspective! I can imagine the flat maps I have now from what you showed here =) From what platform did you come from? I am a bit lost with the orientation of the platforms 7-14. Do you know the name of the exit you came out of? Thanks!

@cherryjo319 The exit is the Southern Terrace Exit - which is across the main street from the South Exit. I think you can't send links in YouTube, but search for "Shinjuku Station map" for a map of the station. Also note that while the route shown in the video is still accurate, there's a construction project going up over the exit area. I'll try to post a new video of that next week if I can. - LHS

Thanks for the video, will be heading there in October and this will loaded up on my phone!

@bark615 I went by there a few days ago, and there is new construction next to the Starbucks, but the exit is still the same and everything is basically the same - with the exception of a new structure rising just to the side of the Starbucks - between Starbucks and the tracks. - LHS

Thank you so much for your video!!! I watched it to get me to the hotel last week (July 18 to July 26), and the construction has not affected this part of the station yet.

Thanks again! I will be recommending Sunroute Shinjuku & your video to all future Tokyo travellers.

@dingmah Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear it's still useful! I haven't been to this part of Shinjuku Station for a few months now, so I was wondering (I usually use a different exit when in Shinjuku). (If it changes, I'll try to make a new one.) Thanks again! - LHS

OOoo look at all those japanese business men in their sexy suits xD

You're welcome! I assume you're going to use the Narita Express train? If you do it should be just like in this video. If you come via some other route (most people don't, but it's possible), then be careful which exit you use. Shinjuku is a large and complicated station and there are several exits. But from the platform for the Narita Express, things are pretty simple - like in the video. - LHS

Thank you so much for the video. I will have tired and grumpy kids in tow from Narita, and this minimizes my chances of getting hopelessly lost.
