The view to Shinjuku is just impressive

Nice view of Shinjuku. Was it shot from the observatory deck? I really doubt that. I don't see if there is any observatory at the top floor. By the way, the interior is amazing and it's way better than the exterior.

Nonetheless, congrats to the workers and the developers of this tower.

The high-rise Shibuya Hikarie shopping and entertainment complex next to Shibuya Station opens Thursday, kicking off projects to revitalize the area known as a teen fashion mecca. The 34-floor glass tower with three basement floors boasts nearly 200 shops, 26 eateries, design and art galleries, office floors and a musical theater with 2,000 seats.
"A series of development projects that will change Shibuya drastically are set to launch," Hirofumi Nomoto, president of Tokyu Corp., the railway in charge of the project, said at a media preview Tuesday. "I hope many people representing a wide range of ages will be able to enjoy the district."
The ¥100 billion Hikarie project replaces the Tokyu Bunkakaikan theater complex and planetarium, which had operated for about 50 years. More projects to renovate the complicated mazelike structure of Shibuya Station and its surroundings will follow over the next decade. They include the renewal of the 78-year-old Tokyu department store buildings that are incorporated into the station as well as the relocation of Tokyu Corp.'s Shibuya Station underground, which will be connected to the Fukutoshin Metro Line.

.... And here is a little tour inside the new icon building of Shibuya

***Momo1435*** · April 26th, 2012, 07:35 PM

4,000 people waited in line before it was opened for business for the 1st time today.

The trainspotters also got a new place to shoot some video's of the Ginza Line.

Yes they are. They show time, weather, and upcoming events as well.

Not much more to show than what's already been presented, but here are some shots I personally took just before, during, and after opening day. I change trains here twice a day going to/from work for the last year so for me its a really good feeling to see this project go from construction site to something I can walk around in everyday.
Now we're all waiting for the Tokyu Toyoko terminal to close and be re-routed down in the basement--stay tuned in the Japan Urban Transit thread for that one--I update it as much as possible. Then of course, JR Shibuya Station and the Tokyu Toyoko Hakaten.
