We must have walked here about...30+ times. Just because we need to go through here from Nakano sakaue to get to Shinjuku station on foot. I love this view, the JR running down the middle with trains constantly zooming by with the high buildings with moving neon signs in the back. I love it.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/ika/">ika</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/ika/photo/3599852 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:59:08 GMT https://www.23hq.com/ika/photo/3599849 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/ika/photo/3599849"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/3364503/3599849_a96f531ec3fa786fbff614fe754ebca5_standard.jpg" width="265" height="460" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>We have NO idea what this building is for, but it was all distorted it was great!
