*[Enjoy an adult night out in Shinjuku's hidden paradise, "Kogane-gai"]**

#TokyoConquest * In an alleyway a little ways from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku Kabukicho, you'll find the "Koganegai" that still retains the atmosphere of the Showa era. This street, which is only about 80 meters long, is lined with over 50 unique bars and izakayas, and at night it transforms into a quiet but lively space. **Sights & Recommendations** -**Private Bar "Ban"**: Enjoy cocktails and quiet conversation in a warm wooden space -**Showa-style Izakaya "Fukuchan"**: A hidden gem where you can taste homemade dishes and local alcohol -**Night View Spot**: The neon lights of Shinjuku seen from the back alley are fantastic **Access** A 5-minute walk from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. Just turn into a small alley just past Kabukicho. **Tips** The Koganegai way is to enjoy a conversation with the bar owner at the counter seat. If it's your first time visiting, ask a local for their "recommended drink." This town is perfect for adults looking for a hideaway, and has a mysterious charm where time passes slowly until late at night.
