Shinjuku and Shin-Okubo: Finding Places to Eat and Pray
Shinjuku changes character with every exit of its famously busy station: the skyscrapers of the west side, the shopping streets and nightlife of the east side and Kabukicho, and the green lawns of Shinjuku Gyoen. Just north of the station, Shin-Okubo is known for its grocery stores and restaurants from around the world.
This page lists restaurants from Shinjuku Station to Shin-Okubo, with a list and a map. Halal practices differ from venue to venue, so check each listing for menu and service details.
You can find prayer spaces near this area on this page or in the list of prayer spaces in Tokyo. Head to the west side or Kabukicho for shopping and city views, or to Shin-Okubo for a food walk. Use the map to plan a day in Shinjuku that fits in both meals and prayer.
