アンプラン新宿
UNPLAN Shinjuku is a hostel-coliving hybrid at the heart of one of Tokyo's most connected neighborhoods. The building runs six floors with mixed dormitories, female-only dorms, semi-private rooms, private family rooms, and private double rooms. The crowd skews international, and the overall setup is built around meeting people as much as sleeping.
WiFi is free throughout the building. There is no dedicated coworking floor, but the 24-hour common room on the first floor has sofas, tables, a TV, and a full kitchen with an IH stove, microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge, freezer, cookware, and cutlery. For focused work, you will be competing with the social energy of the space. If you need quiet hours, this is best suited to mornings before the common room fills up.
The basement holds two key spaces. Encounter by UNPLAN is a cafe and dining bar open daily from 16:00 to 23:00, with breakfast service 8:00 to 11:00. Specialty coffee, cocktails, beer, and shisha are all on the menu. The bar hosts DJ events and happy hour, and it draws both guests and locals, making it genuinely easy to meet people. Next to it is a rental event space available to guests and outside visitors for meetings or workshops.
The rooftop terrace on the 6th flooris open 8:00 to 21:00 and has views of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Shower rooms are on every floor, with complimentary shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and hair dryers. Laundry is coin-op.¥300 per wash, ¥100 per 30 minutes of dryer. Detergent is included.
The on-site bar serves vegan and vegetarian food options and specialty coffee. Oat milk is not confirmed from available sources, but the bar has a food menu with pasta and pizza in addition to drinks. Dietary needs beyond vegan and vegetarian options are not confirmed from website or review data.

The community at UNPLAN Shinjuku is shaped largely by the Encounter by UNPLAN basement bar and its regular events. DJ nights draw a mix of guests and Tokyo locals. Happy hour runs from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The bar is open to non-guests as well, so the social environment is broader than just the people staying upstairs. English-speaking staff make it accessible for international visitors from day one.
On some evenings, the lobby hosts movies or video games. The building also runs a WhatsApp group chat for guests to coordinate and connect during their stay. The crowd is predominantly international travelers in transit, with some long-stay guests mixed in.

The hostel is an 8-minute walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station and close to JR Shinjuku Station. The area is near Shinjuku Gyoen and the Golden Gai nightlife district. The building entrance is at 5-3-15 Shinjuku, with the bar in the basement and reception on the first floor.
Shinjuku is one of Tokyo's most connected hubs, served by JR Shinjuku Station (the world's busiest station) and Shinjuku-sanchome on the Marunouchi and Shinjuku lines. The area splits between the east side's nightlife and Golden Gai, and the west side's corporate towers and government offices. For nomads, it means fast transit anywhere in Tokyo, a dense selection of cafes, coworking spots, and 24-hour convenience, though rents and noise levels reflect the central location.
