Headed to Shinjuku to see the Robot Restaurant show that evening. While waiting, hit up some arcades, visited Shin-Ōkubo, japan's Koreatown.
Kabukicho is part of Shinjuku, gets kinda sketchy (for Japan) at night, but that's where the robots are.
Robot show was totally bonkers. Too loud. Looked like it was cobbled together at times (though so many costumes, would like to meet who made them), but the performances were really good. Think of a live performance of an 80s Japanese B-movie cross JRPG, complete with lousy effects, cheesey dialogue, lasers, and monster battles. I think I even heard Attack on Titan music at one point. Didn't eat, sushi bento no thanks. Totally awesome, would definitely recommend, one of those things truely that can only be seen in Japan, mostly gaijin, but even some Japanese people came. No need to book early shows online, get tickets at door, not even close to full. Not sure about late shows or weekends.
Ate melon bread and pudding (like an anime school girl) and they were delicious.
