reat retail goes hand in hand with Tokyo transit. Shinjuku station sees 3.52 million passengers each day, so it’s no wonder this station is a crush of shops, department stores and restaurants.

A center for business and government, you’ll find the tallest skyscrapers in Japan in and around Shinjuku. The “look” in this part of Tokyo often reflects a professional attitude, with chic details that suggest dinner and drinks come later.

For the daily commute, stylish locals use authentic designer bags and handbags, which they carry into the evening. You’ll also see crisp trench coats over neutral basics, popped with bright colored sweaters, scarves, shoes, and fantastic accessories.

For the ladies, a popular look for spring is dark hose with light or colored pumps or sandals. Tokyo businessmen are almost always in black, well-cut suits - stylish and utilitarian.

Fabulous kiosks at subway platforms let you shop more via Tokyo’s ubiquitous vending machines: hot tea, vitamin waters, espresso and beer!
