Is shinjuku a safe place to walk at night?
I was told that some areas of shinjuku are kinda red district, is that true?, is it safe to walk at night around these places for a woman?.

♡I've walked in Shinjuku at night alone many times (as have many of my friends) and I'm a women. I've never had a problem!
～Yes, the Kabuki cho area is considered a 'red light' district in Shinjuku. Take a look here:

I would say it's safe, as with anything, as long as you don't go looking for trouble.(^_-)-☆
As for 'drunken males' or 'trouble makers' you may encounter them anywhere...not just Shinjuku!(*^o^*)
So relax, enjoy Shinjuku and have a great time in Japan!♡

Shinjuku At Night

It should be OK. The main issue in kabukicho would be getting clipped, as in you go into a joint and they charge an outrageous price for a few drinks and if you don't pay up they beat the crap out of you. If you don't go into joints you don't know about, that won't happen. It's not like a Miike Takashi movie in reality, although I did tremendously enjoy "Ichi the Killer" and "Shinjuku Triad Society". Like those films Kabuki-cho is not for the faint of heart, but not inherently dangerous.

Basically most part of Shinjuku are safe for common ppl, unless you show your "fighting attitude". *smile*
I am walking in Shinjuku every night.

Shinjuku is safe to walk at night, no worries.
Just skip the kabukicho area while you are there, if you don't feel safe.
