Looks like the cutoff is from the source governmental data. It's also missing Tochoumae and Nishishinjuku, even though it has Shinjuku-nishiguchi and Seibu Shinjuku.

For me it's more metroid prime than FF. Just needs the coloured doors!

It is still the busiest train station in the world by far:

Or Descent. Pity the fool who hits the map key mid-multiplayer fight.

That's shibuya

Doom cannot have hallways above or below other hallways without teleport hacks.

But you could do it in Quake.

Please don't do this. The station is very busy and the commuters do not have time to navigate around people focused on their smartphones.

Instead, familiarize yourself with the general layout. There's no need to memorize the entire map, only the portion you will be using. Inside the station there are plenty of signs overhead and even on the floor to help navigate.

This is off-topic, but I find it surprising that relatively small Stockholm is so high on the list.

Probably. They count journeys involving Shinjuku as an interchange as two separate, independent journeys.

How do you expect tourists, including people coming from other regions of Japan, to familiarize themselves with the layout?

Some of the not quite 90 slopes seem to be due to arrows representing more of topological structure not necessarily accurate geometric representation. Could be elevators with doors on both sides, connect doors on opposite sides and you will get a bit of slope. Some of them might spiral stairways. The vertical spacing between floors is likely also exaggerated for clarity. Underground there might be larger gaps since the train tunnels need to go over each other under the rivers and what not, but there is no way 3 above ground floors (4f-2f) have empty gap 5x the ceiling height of individual floor.

Escalators. The distances between the levels are exaggerated, to make it easier to see what's going on.

The signs are incredibly confusing and often will all point to each other from every direction.

It turns off if you uncheck "hokousha/pedestrian network". Based on their placement I'm pretty sure they are elevators, I wonder if they actually do have that angle.

For what it's worth I was joking. I've only been Shinjuku as a tourist, so I unfortunately won't be able to familiarise myself with the layout, but I do feel your pain. I've seen the same thing in smaller stations in the London and absolutely hate it.

Do you have an example? Your comment seems like an exaggeration, I have never seen any signs pointing to each other from every direction.

Also, I am curious of the justification. Why would anyone place signs that "... are incredibly confusing and often will all point to each other from every direction."

No they aren't. People who say this have never spent a significant amount of time there.

I appreciate your comment.

Yes they are. Every time I visit Tokyo I try to avoid Shinjuku because it is extremely confusing and I always get lost.

Signs are mostly useful for people who are new to a place, if you need a significant amount of time to familiarize yourself then they are useless.

No, it's incorrect that signs "point to each other."

There are multiple ways to get to various lines' platforms. This is not signs pointing to each other, this is signs in different places pointing to the same destination.

I live in Tokyo and while I do not go through Shinjuku often as I mostly live and work on the east side, I have no issue using the signs to find the platforms and exits I am looking for.

If you pay attention to what the signs have written on them, they will take you where you are trying to go.
