1. SHINJUKU COUNTERPOINT



                                        SHINJUKU COUNTERPOINT






Shinjuku is a mess, a crossroads, a commercial center, a business place, a turistic focus, a popular area with peculiar personality -gay district or kabukicho are also there- , the base of the metropolitan government...





So many offices, universities such as Kogakuin (School of Architecture).
Private schools such as the quite diversified that holds three different topics under the same roof or "huevera metálica", the new skyscraper:          
"Cocoon Tower".
School of Arts, IT, Health share this building.



Same as "Uniqlo" shares a building, without any distinction, with "Big Camera", -a photography "category killer"- , crossing sinergies in one Uniqlo floor appealing for visit the Big camera one, and opposite.

Diversify and stablished sinergies. Be precise with the customers.  As well as Tanita, world leader in precision electronic scales break in food market with the opening of restaurants such as the succesfull one in Marunochi area.


To be precise with the costumer on the way as the new vending machines have a camera in front of the costumers to consider his/her profile and display -according to that- the most accurate offer of a bigger stock that couldn´t be shown on   the regular ones. 
 

But hectic Shinjuku. Well known as one of the busiest stations in the world, subway, trains, buses... and all what I have said above has a beautiful counterpoint at Shinjuku Gyoen´s Gardens.


Assigned by the emperor to the people long time ago and impeccably maintained by a reasonable entry price.





Every shop window has a sakura motif,  every restaurant a sakura menu, but sakura has not still arrived although it is anxiously wait.







Or let´s say it has not arrived to its "hanami" summit that do great pic-nic meetings under the sakura trees of Ueno Park not so far from Shinjuku.









Any way some plum trees, magnolias and others have already blossom.
