High-rise buildings in the Nihonbashi area

[whatever] July 17, 2014 09:00

 Since the beginning of the 2000s, the redevelopment of the Nihonbashi area has been remarkable. "Cored Muromachi 2" and "Cored Muromachi 3" opened in March this year, a new place in memory. With this as a border, there are many sightseeing people who seem to be in their 20s, which have rarely been seen in this area until now, regardless of weekdays and weekends. It's a great shock.
 When the Tokyu Department Store Nihonbashi store closed in 1999 and opened on the site in 2004, Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower in 2005, and YUITO and Cored Muromachi in 2010, were there so many visitors?
 I felt somewhat lonely that the long-established stores in the neighborhood would fit into a part of skyscrapers one after another, but that's also the "era". Since I was a part-time job as a student and even after I became a member of society, I had quite a few opportunities to get involved in Chuo-ku and this Nihonbashi area, so I am very impressed with the changes in the city.
 
 And development is still ongoing. The "Edobashi Warehouse Building" of Mitsubishi Warehouse Co., Ltd. near Edobashi, which was featured on this blog and TV, seems to be completed soon. About a week ago, I passed nearby, but the curing sheet like that projection mapping was almost removed! It seems to be completed in August, one month later. The outer walls of the 1st to 5th floors are preserved and are almost old.

Some of the curing sheets remained.

 This is the building that has recently begun to show the whole picture of Nyokinoki. It's across the street from Choredo Nihonbashi, Eitai-dori St. It seems that the completion is still ahead, but this seems to be a large office building. There was a paper "habara" that was open in a nearby building.

 It seems that the development of the long-established stores such as Yamamotoyama and Takashimaya along Chuo-dori has also begun. The scenery will change again in less than half a year or a year.
