I asked an American tourist to find West Exit/Entrance at Shinjuku Station, the busiest train station in Japan, which also mean the world's busiest. How long did it take him to find it?

West Exit is 西口 (nishiguchi) in Japanese, but they sometimes translate 西口 as West Entrance, which makes it even more confusing. Also, the interpretation of 西口 is different on different maps (an exit from the gate or an exit from the building). The West Exit/Entrance that we were looking for in this video is West Exit/Entrance that you see when you get off the JR train, with a clear sign that says 西口.

この動画は、昔新宿でよく迷っていた経験から着想を得ました。ちょうどアメリカ人のユーチューバーからコラボのリクエストが来ていたので彼に参加してもらいました。西口って、日本語で言うと西口ですが、訳が安定していなくて、改札から出るときは西口(West Exit)なのに、改札に入るときは西口(West Entrance)なんですよね。日本人でも迷うのにこれは余計に混乱します。しかも地図によって西口の解釈が違ったり。(建物から外に出るところなのか、改札から外に出るところなのか。)
