Panorama TOKYO : Minami-Shinjuku

The cityscape of Tokyo is always changing. Especially the redevelopment around downtown Shinjuku makes remarkable progress. Shinjuku Southern Terrace, a wide and long promenade completed on the south side of JR Shinjuku Station in March 1998, is a place of interest. That is rare for being just front of the station in such a built-up town. Here you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade with a May breeze.

In the evening, the building of a department store Takashimaya Times Square begins to be illuminated brilliantly over JR tracks. It looks like the palace of the light. Person for appointment with someone begins to gather in the promenade.
