Shinjuku | Trip plan for large families

We compared 6 places 3–7 minutes on foot from Shinjuku-sanchome, Yotsuya, Akebonobashi and Shinjuku-gyoemmae stations where 6 adults can share one room. All of them are rooms with a kitchen that you rent, and all of them have beds rather than futons. From Haneda to Shinjuku, the train costs about ¥2,800 for 6, and because full bloom at Shinjuku Gyoen has moved by 13 days over the last 10 years, decide your day first. Set out here as stay, transport, things to do and what to know.
