The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Shinjuku
Shinjuku is the commuting capital of Tokyo, and contains the busiest train station in the world. To the west, there's an office district with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office at its center. To the east, there’s a district with long-established department stores, cinemas and theaters. Shinjuku Gyoen is a park originally built as the garden for the Imperial Household. It is quite famous as a venue for cherry-blossom viewing in March and April. In Shinjuku, many restaurants operate all night, and districts such as Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) or Shinjuku Golden Machi have back streets filled with tiny restaurants and bars that reflect each owner’s unique taste and style.

There's nothing to boast about the building. It's typical, average and your usual office/administrative box.
But, it is surrounded by hidden gems in the form of its public art installations. Which is pretty unusual for Tokyo. There's ten art installations commissioned when the building was built - from famous western and Japanese artist of the time (early 90s). They're still pretty amazing to this day.
The most famous, and visible, one is the LOVE sculpture at the front of the building by Robert Indiana. There's also two Lichtenstein sculptures called "Tokyo Brushstrokes". (A documentary about Tokyo Brushstrokes - which covered process of building and installing it in the 1990s - is also online and in theatres).
One of Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawings is in the lobby wall, by the elevators. A huge, and welcomed, contrast from the marbled floor and pillars of the building.
Some gorgeous Katsuhito Nishikawa sculptures are at the back of the building, which sadly, has been interspersed with ugly cigarette trash bins in between the sculptures.
If you have time on a Sunday, worth the walk to see them as the place is not busy at that time and you can enjoy looking at the pieces more. There is wall mount inside the back entrance giving a brief history of the public art, a list and map of them.

Take a North exit from Shinjuku station heading towards Goldengai and before you cross the main road to Goldengai there is are 2 laneways of fantastic Yakitori bars. A bit of fun and a very Japanese experience. They are tiny little eating houses where yakitori sticks (as well as vegetables, tofu etc) are cooked over open grills in front of you. For only a few hundred yen you can have a cold beer and 10 yakitori sticks with chicken beef or pork, huddled in a tiny open bar and do some people watching. They start at about 6pm ish (during winter when we were there - maybe earlier in summer) but beware if your partner is tall....these little bars are tiny. Kids would be ok to bring but not a pram or stroller - tiny alleyway..tiny eateries!

An ordinary office block apart from the public art including Robert Indiana’s love sculpture among others. It has some restaurants and coffee shops open during the working week. Not a destination but if you have gone to see the views from the government building it’s worth your while taking a stroll to see the art.

The complex is a very large business building.
It has many options for restaurants below ground level and some are quite good.
I find the crowds are frustrating, but this is Japan.
I have eaten here maybe 20 times and more visits for meetings.
I do not feel it is a destination but it can keep you occupied if you find yourself there.

As we stayed at Hilton Shinjuku, this place is just a short walk from our hotel. So we ate at the restaurants in the ILand building nearly every night.
There is a good variety of Udon and Ramen shops as well as some western food. The Udon shop and Ramen shop are good here.

If you need to eat fast, but want to enjoy great food, this is the place. There are many restaurants to choose from. We ate at the Ramen place 4 times in 6 days. Both for lunch and dinner. The tempura place was also very good. Healthy portions also.

i-Land Shinjuku is just across the road from the Hilton Hotel in Nishi-Shinjuku, and just a few minutes walk from the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
They have a great selection of restaurants to choose from.
Great sushi and I can highly recommend the Ippudo ramen restaurant

is a business complex between Shinjuku station and the municipal government center, besides offices there are a lot of good restaurant in the lower level with 1 or 2 very good Sushi places. A little crowded after work hours.

Located conveniently a block away from Hilton Shinjuku. We went to the Japanese restaurant here for dinner and found the place comfortable with friendly service. They have English menu with pictures with English speaking attendant and we enjoyed our Japanese dinner. I enjoyed my mackerel set box. The cost is reasonably low! There are an Italian Pizza place, an Spice restaurant with several different smaller restaurants in it ( Indonesian, Italian Mediterenean etc ) They don't look that appealing. The ice- cream caffee was a big disappointment selling interesting colorful icecream average 5000 JPY up, which is basically a vanilla soft ice cream adorned with colorful stuff. Not worth it. Try the Japanese restaurant.

The meeting place for our full day tour of Tokyo was at the Love statue in front of I-Land and only 5 minutes from the Keio Plaza Hotel.

I am a wheelchair user and use Yamaha self propelled power assist wheels. I am wondering what general access is like for wheelchairs, particularly any specific attractions and hotels. The family group like restaurants and shopping, I prefer exploring by walk Japanese style, in this case wheelchair!
Written 30 May 2016
Hello, I am not sure about wheelchair access. As I know the japanese it should be there, have really not paid attention. I definitely know elevators. I-Land is not far away from Shinjuku Station and can be reached by wheelchair. there are many restaurants in the station and around. next to I-Land are the Tokyo Hilton and the Hyatt Hotel. From Shinjuku east exit you reach the large department stores like Isetan, Odaku, Big Camera etc. all has easy access. Rgds
