The main design theme of Tokyu Plaza Ginza is “Creative Japan~The World will be exciting from here~”, which is based upon “tradition and progression”. As with often case with character of Tokyo, this commercial complex shows cultural mishmash style, far beyond common way, and the interior environment represents Japanese ways of creation and sensibility, and they can be traced in art-and-craft details like plastering work in both modern and classic vocabularies of the architecture. The core of this establishment is the 6th floor “Kiriko Lounge”, four story height void designed as a sort of public space and furnished with custom-made movable articles and kiriko cut glass style lanterns.

This newly opened big commercial complex NEWoMan is just in front of the south exit of JR Shinjuku station which is known as a mammoth terminal station used by 3.6 million people a day.
NEWoMan is next to the station, bus terminal, office tower, hall and so on. The complex is operated by JR-owned corporation Lumine and composed of two parts. One is a shopping mall located in lower levels, opened in March, and the other is building for shops and restaurants, opened one month later. The total environmental design was done by Chikara Ohno and his firm sinato and he blurred the borders between commercial space and public space, which can be trendy way of zoning.
