Shinjuku 3D Calico Cat Billboard 新宿東口の猫(クロス新宿ビジョン)
The giant 3D cat that appears to lean out of a curved screen above Shinjuku Station's East Exit plaza, a must-shoot for video and reels.
About
Stand on the East Exit plaza or the pavement across Yasukuni-dori junction near the Cross Shinjuku building and look up at the curved corner screen: at intervals a huge calico cat appears to peer out, stretch and nap in convincing 3D, mixed in with ads. The illusion works best from the plaza in front of the station exit, directly facing the corner, so the curve of the screen lines up. Evening adds neon around it. Stay on the pavement, keep clear of the station exit flow, and be aware the cat appears between other content, so be patient.
Highlights
- Giant 3D calico cat on a curved corner screen
- Great subject for short video clips
- Neon of Shinjuku East Exit around it
- Short walk to Kabukicho and Omoide Yokocho
Tips
- The cat appears in short segments between ads; wait a few minutes.
- Shoot from directly in front of the corner for the 3D effect to work.
- Keep the station exit clear; the plaza is crowded.
