Traveling By Night Bus? Shinjuku Cafes Where You Can Rest And Shower

Night buses are a low-cost and convenient travel method when touring around Japan. However, many tend to leave late at night and arrive early in the morning, so they can be quite energy draining in comparison to other methods of transport. In addition to that, many stores are not open so it can be hard to find a place to take a break before or after your journey.

This time, we have collected a list of places around Busta Shinjuku (the new Shinjuku Bus Terminal) that are open in the early morning and late at night. Take a look at this list of cafes you can take a break at upon arriving, internet cafes to drop by before leaving or even a relaxing bathing facility too.
