Nishi-Shinjuku (西新宿, lit.'West Shinjuku') is a skyscraper business district in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. The region was previously called Tsunohazu (角筈).

History

Progress continues in Nishi-Shinjuku, which is heading away from the city centre and has the site of the proposed Nishi-Shinjuku 3-Chōme Redevelopment, with plans for what will be three of the four tallest buildings in Japan.
