About this spot
Kabukicho, Shinjuku's famous entertainment district, is the real-world inspiration for the Kabuki District in Gintama where the Yorozuya operates. The neon-lit streets, bustling crowds, and chaotic energy of Kabukicho perfectly match the series' wild and comedic Edo-meets-sci-fi atmosphere.

- Gintama
The iconic Kabukicho gate and neon-lit streets are the real-world counterpart of Gintama's Kabuki District, where Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura take on odd jobs amidst the chaos of an alien-invaded Edo.
