Is an entertainment district in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Kabuki-chō is the location of many host and hostess clubs, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, and is often called the "Sleepless Town" (眠らない街, Nemuranai Machi). Shinjuku Golden Gai, famous for its plethora of small bars, is part of Kabuki-cho.

The district's name comes from late-1940s plans to build a kabuki theater, and although the theater was never built, the name stuck.
