People love a good ghost story, though. Shinjuku's pretty far from there, so unless you're going out of your way, you'll likely just see it from afar. The creepiness is mostly hype, I'd wager. Don't get me wrong, abandoned places can be kinda unsettling, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Have a great trip!

It wouldn't surprise me. @Tokyo is crazy.
