For the Shinjuku area, its always very busy. A lot of youngsters and what not. Be careful at night time. More strangers in that part of Tokyo as told.

Hi Shodo,
I lived near Shinjuku several years ago - Nakano Shimbashi area in a Gaijin house. I'm thinking more near Asakusabashi as there seem to be several Hostels/Riokan in the area. I will be visiting the Shinjuku area [camera stores] but Shinjuku is a bit on the expensive side for a hostel/Riokan. I did stay at a pretty decent place in Iidabashi but I think it's either not there or changed hands. It was in a mid-rise building next to the train station [one at either end of the very long block.
