The monument of Japan's economic miracle - Shinjuku Subcenter

After World War II, a favorable international environment led to a rapid recovery of the Japanese economy. By the 1960s, the Japanese economy began to take off, continuing until the 1980s. This 20-year sprint made Japan quickly rise from a defeated country to a world-class economy, which can be called an economic miracle. The center of this economic miracle is undoubtedly the capital circle centered on Tokyo, the capital of Japan. This huge metropolitan area has become the largest and most developed city in human history, with a huge population of over 30 million, making this city a star of the world economy. By the 1960s, the traditional center of Tokyo was overwhelmed, and the construction of the subcenter was vigorously carried out. Among a series of subcenters, the Shinjuku Subcenter is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and it can be called the monument of Japan's economic miracle. The Shinjuku Subcenter is located in the western part of Tokyo and is the intersection of more than ten tracks. Relying on Shinjuku Station, the busiest train station in the world, a bustling metropolis has risen. Unlike other urban areas in Japan, the most prominent sign of the Shinjuku Subcenter is its dense skyscrapers. Dozens of glass buildings over 200 meters high form a steel forest, which is rare in earthquake-prone Japan and has become one of the most modern urban areas in Tokyo. When it was built in the 1970s, the Shinjuku Subcenter was undoubtedly a bustling district on par with Manhattan in New York. For people of that era, this is the city of the future. Today's Chinese people walking on the streets of Shinjuku may not be interested in skyscrapers, after all, countless CBDs have sprung up in China in recent years, but considering that these buildings have a history of half a century, they are still very emotional inside.
