"Shinjuku Sky"
Shinjuku
was Japan's first skyscraper district and Shinjuku Station is
reportedly the busiest train station in the country, but Shinjuku is
also home to Shinjuku Gyoen Park and dramatic skies. It's a
good thing for mega-city dwellers that on windy days they can
occasionally look up and see timeless beauty.
Skyscraper... is
a word I should retire, but then what? "High-rise
District"? Or "District of High Rises"?
Didn't like those, so I went with "skyscraper", a term I
don't mind hearing... until I start thinking about what a ridiculous
term it is that is!
