JR EAST Travel Service Center · Shinjuku New South Exit JR EAST Travel Service Center 新宿駅新南口
JR East's main foreign-visitor ticket and pass center in Shinjuku, at the New South Exit beside Busta Shinjuku, open 8:00–19:00. It took over from the East Exit center, which closed at the end of July 2026.
About
Since the Shinjuku East Exit center closed on 31 July 2026, this New South Exit office is JR East's only dedicated travel service center for international visitors in Shinjuku. It sells and exchanges Japan Rail Passes and JR East area passes, issues basic fare and Shinkansen tickets, hands over tickets reserved through JR-EAST Train Reservation, and gives tourist information for East Japan and Hokuriku with free JR-EAST Wi-Fi. The New South Exit is the side facing Busta Shinjuku and the Takashimaya Times Square deck, handy if you are also catching a highway bus or the Narita Express from the southern platforms.
