    I believe it's because 新宿 refers to the Tokyo city 新宿区 (しんじゅくく) so it's meaning is basically it's own name.

    The correct way of asking/making a sentences in japanese is ”新宿”は何ですか The subject is supposed to be at the front then followed by the particle. So that would be 新宿は。While in English, the particle comes first followed by subject. "何” should be at the back before ですか.

    @Heiyou: It's best to learn new words alongside grammar, so let me redirect you to wigglysquire's profile (https://japaneseclass.jp/user/statistics/82163), which is a great arsenal of Nihongo learning resources :)
