Art through regional cooperation (2) Exhibition of photographs of the elevator hall on the first floor

While pursuing the uniqueness of Shinjuku, a device was applied so that guests could discover a “new Shinjuku”.
Like photographer Saul Reiter, who continued to capture the cityscape of New York from a unique perspective, he cut out the scenery of Shinjuku and colored the walls with those photos.
By capturing the charm of Shinjuku in everyday life, the aim is to create an opportunity for visitors to become interested in the city and feel familiar with it.

comment

Shinjuku shows various expressions. The skyscrapers that immediately come to mind when you think of Shinjuku are just one area, and I took pictures while looking at the people who live, work, and travel in Shinjuku.
Since it will be used for a long time, we try to express it in a straightforward way that never gets boring. Whether it was a day when the sun was shining brightly or on a rainy day, Shinjuku always showed a fascinating side.
I would be happy if you could think about the city of Shinjuku in a place called the elevator hall that welcomes and sends off guests staying at the hotel.
