APA HOTEL HIGASHI SHINJUKU KABUKICHO HIGASHI, Tokyo

The hotel is a 2-minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station (Toei Oedo and Fukutoshin lines), providing easy access to Shibuya (9-minute subway ride) and other major districts without the crowds of Shinjuku Station itself. JR Shinjuku Station is a 15-minute walk away, and Haneda International Airport is 17 km from the property. The neighbourhood is lively, with numerous restaurants, convenience stores (Family Mart, 7-Eleven), and a 24-hour Don Quijote within a short walk. The immediate area sits on the edge of Kabukicho, the entertainment and nightlife district, making it ideal for evening exploration but also a busy, sometimes noisy environment, especially on lower floors. For airport transfer, a shuttle bus runs from Haneda/Narita to Shinjuku Station, but a taxi is recommended if travelling with large luggage due to the 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station.

Breakfast is charged at ¥1200 per person if booked in advance, or ¥1400 on the day. A couple pays ¥2400 (advance) or ¥2800 (day-of). The buffet includes 2 main courses and more than 20 different dishes, plus side dishes. Note that breakfast is served off-site at another APA Hotel about 50-100 metres away. The hotel has no on-site restaurant or bar, but the surrounding area offers many dining options, including ramen shops, sushi, yakiniku, and a 24-hour convenience store across the street. There is also a small Japanese restaurant on the ground floor serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, but its hours may vary.

The hotel does not have a gym, spa, or swimming pool. A massage service is available by request at the 24-hour front desk. For fitness, a gym is located within a 7-minute walk. The hotel also has a drinks vending machine, ice maker, and microwave for guest convenience.
