新宿ゴールデン街

Tokyo's Goldengai drinking area is located a short walk from Shinjuku Station's east exit.



Saved from destruction by the devotion of its committed patrons, Goldengai retains the atmosphere and architecture of 1960s Tokyo.


A drinking haunt of artists and mavericks, author and fanatic Yukio Mishima is known to have socialized here.


Quirky, odd, ramshackled, bohemian and good fun. Enjoy these photographs of a Tokyo institution.
