    John, I may not be around to see the new station in 2046, but I could not help but think that Leo will be around 25 years old? I will miss the “old Japan” Hopefully, I will be around to see this happen!

      I know!! I hope I’m around too 🤣 but luckily Tokyo Station will be done, by 2027 so we can enjoy that, the Flame Tower!

    I first visited Japan and Shinjuku as a teenager in the early 1980s. Since then, I've been a regular visitor and have witnessed many changes. (I also got to experience some of the exciting nightlife back then!)

      Nightlife was so different then, it’s definitely unique! Tourism is overtaking everything in this area so it does feel more … international now?

    hey John, do you have any update on the Tokyo Expressway redevelopment, where they will turn it into a green corridor? They were going to turn part of an Expressway into an elevated park and it was gonna be called Tokyo Sky Corridor, something like that. It was announced more than a year ago and I was wondering on what the progress on that was. It was a long term project though with its completion something like 2040, like this Shinuku Renovation

      I saw that, I’ll check in with various projects at the end of the month and I’m sure to do several streams, videos on the changes. They’re HUGE!

    I remember how that Shinjuku skyline used to look like when I 1st moved to Japan in the late 80s. Feels so nostalgic natsukashii to me! Great livestream!!

    Walked through here from the south end just a few months ago, I hadn't been through since 2015! The amount of change boggled my mind, some things still recognised to ground locations but it was very impressive to see so much stuff happening. Embrace the change!

    Interesting! We will be visiting for our sixth trip next month and staying in the Hatagaya area, mostly because of its proximity to Shinjuku Station via the Keio Line, but in a quieter part of town. I know how crazy Shinjuku Station NORMALLY is … so we will see how it looks next month 😂 thanks, John!

    the giant hole in the ground seems right. for buildings that size the most time consuming and important part is the foundation. the building itself can rise in just 1 year or so.

    Buonasera,Good evening John and as always thanks for your videos. Honestly, I'm quite shocked, both by the scope of the work, and by the duration of the work! 21 years, by Japanese standards seems really a lot to me! Surely there must be a reason, a plausible explanation! Thanks again. Greetings from Italy

    The folks running this project definitely need to consider the impact of Moore’s Law and technology development because a 21-year project will absolutely see some fundamental shifts in the way we do things including transportation technology based upon steel rails. I mean shouldn’t they be thinking more about how people will be shopping and eating 21-years from now? Maybe we will have everything delivered by drones, be confined to 15-minutes from our homes, bathed and dressed by robots and be fed by feeding tubes?

    2046.... I'm sure Tokyo and Shinjuku will be very different by then....will there still be petrol fueled cars? Experts say Japan's population would have drastically decreased by that year. Japan's demographics will also be very interesting...by the way... I first visited Japan in January 2017.. I think it still pretty much looks the same now.

    • @onlyinjapanGO

      Tokyo’s population is not decreasing 😉 so it’ll be fine.

    • @onlyinjapanGO
      @onlyinjapanGO  День тому +1

      Because most of this will be used by tourists who are often lost by the maze. It’s crumbling, it needs to be redone and earthquake proofed. The big one is expected in the next 20-30 years so do it now instead of paying billions for cleanup after.
