Evening Bus Terminal at Shinjuku Station
Intercity buses line up outside Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, one of the busiest rail hubs in the world and a major transfer point for long-distance coach services. The station’s west side is home to a dense cluster of express bus platforms that connect Tokyo with destinations across Honshu, Hokkaido, and Kyushu. Captured in March 2023, the photo shows the steady flow of evening commuters moving between the station concourse and the bus loading area, illuminated by the station’s modern façade lighting. The scene reflects Shinjuku’s role not only as a metropolitan transit hub but also as a key gateway for regional travel throughout Japan.
