The Busiest Train Station In The World.

It’s no surprise that the Busiest Train Station In The World is also located in the Biggest City in The World – Tokyo, in Japan.

And that station is Shinjuku Train Station, right in the guts of Tokyo.

Note, this photo was taken at an off peak time on a G Adventures trip!

To put things into perspective – Tokyo holds approximately 20 million people – which is like squeezing the entire population of Australia in one city.

However, 3 to 4 million people pass through Shinjuku Train Station every day – which is like the entire population of Sydney catching a train to just one single destination. Have a look at the numerous lines that operate in this official Shinjuku Station Map!

I didn’t go there in peak hour – and it still felt like we were in a big building full of human dots buzzing around, but somehow avoiding each other.

But one thing I had to give credit for – the Japanese Public Transport System is the best I’ve experienced anywhere. But I guess it has to – with millions of people crammed into a couple of islands, people have to get around efficiently and smoothly so that everything works!

No chaos at all!
