Shinjuku Terrace City

Shinjuku Terrace City is a commercial complex next to Shinjuku Station featuring restaurants, cafes, and shops spread across multiple floors. The site sits above a railway line and combines different retail areas with outdoor seating zones.

The complex opened in 1998 as part of a real estate expansion built above a railway line in this station district. The development reshaped the arrangement of commercial areas in this section of Shinjuku.

Seasonal lighting displays and events transform the terrace spaces throughout the year, reflecting how Japanese customs celebrate different periods with specific decorations. The designed outdoor areas show how residents and visitors gather to mark celebrations and everyday moments in this central location.

The complex is easily accessed from Shinjuku Station through direct passages and offers diverse dining on four floors plus shopping options. The outdoor areas depend on weather conditions, so appropriate clothing for the season helps you enjoy the spaces comfortably.

The site was built directly above an active railway line, which required a special architectural approach for urban construction. This building method demonstrates how additional space is created in densely built city areas.
