How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
An open plaza at the north end of the main streets, overlooked by a big theatre, used as a meeting point and a frequent place for fights.
The real place
The theatre is the Shinjuku Koma Theater, which stood here from 1956 to 2008; the Shinjuku Toho Building, with a life-size Godzilla head on its terrace, replaced it in 2015. The 225 m Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, opened in 2023, now rises over the plaza.
Visiting
The Godzilla head can be seen for free from the plaza and is lit at night. Tokyu Kabukicho Tower next door has a food hall that stays open late.
