For people watching, the place to be is the large square in front of the station's Kabukicho entrance, next to the Studio Alta shopping center.
Hanazono Shrine in Kabukicho off Yasukuni-dori is more remarkable for its location than its appearance, but it's a nice place to take a breather.
Tokyo Opera City is a skyscraper with a shopping centre and art museum that often has interesting multimedia exhibits. Take the Shinjuku Line subway to Hatsudai station.
