Overview
Kabukicho's restaurants and nightlife are right outside Shinjuku Prince Hotel in Tokyo-Shinjuku. The main Shinjuku Station complex is about five minutes away on foot. The red-brick hotel building houses the separate Seibu-Shinjuku Station and the Seibu Shinjuku PePe shops. The JR platforms aren't downstairs.
Rooms
All guest rooms are non-smoking and occupy floors 10 through 24. Standard Double and Standard Twin rooms measure 15.3 square meters, while many Deluxe and Superior rooms are 30.6 square meters, offering twice as much floor space. If you're sharing or carrying large suitcases, the larger categories leave more room for luggage and downtime between outings.
The Deluxe Triple has three beds in a 30.6-square-meter room. A 61.2-square-meter suite provides the most spacious option, and a 30.6-square-meter universal room is available for guests who need an accessible layout.
Facilities
A guest-only lounge beside reception on the first basement level provides somewhere to relax outside your room. On the first floor, the multilingual bell desk can help with local directions and airport limousine bus tickets.
Seibu Shinjuku PePe occupies the building's lower floors, with fashion shops and everyday goods under the same roof. It's convenient for small purchases without adding another stop to the day.
Dining
Buffet Dining Prince Marche serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the second basement level. One floor above, the Station Cafe & Bar provides a more casual setting for drinks, light meals, and evening snacks.
For dinner or drinks with a view, Japanese Dining and Bar FUGA is on the 25th floor. Its dining and bar areas overlook the city.
Location and transport
Seibu-Shinjuku Station, inside the building, serves the Seibu Shinjuku Line. For most journeys across Tokyo, walk to the main Shinjuku complex instead. From there, the JR Yamanote Line reaches Shibuya and Ikebukuro, while Chuo Line rapid trains run directly to Tokyo Station.
The five-minute estimate covers the walk to the station, not to every platform. Allow extra time to find the correct entrance and reach your train, especially with luggage.
Airport access
Direct buses connect Haneda and Narita airports with Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, about two minutes on foot from the hotel. The stop is nearby rather than at the hotel door. Reserve a seat and allow extra time for traffic before a flight.
By rail, Narita Express trains run directly between Narita Airport and Shinjuku Station, followed by the walk to the hotel. From Haneda, take the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho and change to the JR Yamanote Line for Shinjuku. Neither route uses the Seibu-Shinjuku platforms inside the hotel building.
Why stay here
Dinner or a night out in Kabukicho can end with a short walk back to your room instead of another train ride. Tokyo rail connections remain close enough for daytime sightseeing, but this is a busy entertainment district rather than a residential setting.
The surrounding streets offer more than nightlife. You can browse Shinjuku's department stores during the day, visit Hanazono Shrine, or explore Golden Gai's small bars in the evening.
Good to know
The Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal is on the south side of the main station, not beside Seibu-Shinjuku Station or at Tokyu Kabukicho Tower. Check the departure point shown on your ticket before setting out.
