Other times Shinjuku came up

  1. That Godzilla has just been awarded Japanese citizenship. It was done as a press sort of PR stunt, obviously. It was a particular district of Tokyo that he got at a Shinjuku, which is a very cool, extremely busy one. I think that it's very near the famous crossing in Tokyo, Shibuya, crossing.
