Tokyo's Three, Ever-Prominent Terminal Station Areas

Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro are some of the busiest and most vibrant parts of Japan’s capital and are currently undergoing redevelopment with more transformation to unfold even after 2022.

Shinjuku, the busiest station in the world, that offers access to everything from skyscrapers to shrines and relaxing green spaces etc., is currently widening and connecting the station’s East and West exits, which will make reveling around Shinjuku much easier…around 2047, when the work is scheduled to finish. But fret not! – you may set your eyes on the Kabukicho area as it welcomes a revamp by 2022.

The future of all three stations is looking very bright. As for Ikebukuro, we’re currently seeing the area around the station transforming from a mecca of shopping and pop culture to a place of art galleries, stage shows. Work is also currently underway to transform the area around Ikebukuro’s West Exit into an International City of Arts & Culture.
