Kabukichō, Shinjuku. Tokyo has many places centred around nightlife entertainment, but this is perhaps the most prominent of them (and the place is also known as 'Sleepless town'). Here are tons of restaurants and clubs (of various types) and cinemas too. The place got its name from plans in the 1940s to build a kabuki theatre here. The plans got scrapped, but the name stuck.
