However, if you’re looking for a unique experience, get a private arrangement in one of the listed love hotels in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Read on to learn more.
Top picks for couples in Shinjuku:
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden: This place is ideal for both nature lovers and history buffs. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden dates back to 1906, the Edo period in Japan. Formerly a private property of the Imperial family, it’s now open to locals and travelers. Explore 58.3 hectares (144.06 acres) of lush, beautifully landscaped grounds here.
Golden Gai: If you and your partner love partying, you must visit Golden Gai for a lively evening. There are approximately 280 bars in the cramped alleyways of this neighborhood.

1. Hotel The Hotel Shinjuku (from USD 91)

A modern love hotel called Hotel the Hotel looks not much different from a normal hotel. It is because this hotel is operating as a regular hotel. Advanced booking is strongly recommended not only because this area in Shinjuku is a popular location (just minutes from Higashi-Shinjuku Station), but also because there are a limited number of rooms available room number is limited (it is unlikely to get a room without booking in advance).
All individual rooms have different decor, concepts, and colors. I’d suggest fans of anime and cosplay to check out the cosplay outfits for sale at an affordable price. You can bring back the outfits as a souvenir of your stay.
