Tokyo live camera – Shinjuku Station area

What you are looking at
TBS NEWS DIG, the news service of TBS Television and the JNN network, streams this camera from in front of Shinjuku Station in Tokyo. Shinjuku is often described as the world's busiest railway station by passenger numbers, and the camera looks over the crowded station front with its department store signs, taxis and buses.
Through the day you may see waves of commuters in the morning and evening rush, shoppers and visitors in the afternoon, and bright signs and night crowds after dark. Weather is easy to read here, from summer downpours and umbrellas to rare snow in winter, and news channels use this kind of camera to show how Tokyo is coping with typhoons and heavy rain. In the small hours, after the last trains, the area becomes much quieter.
The feed plays as live video on YouTube. TBS notes that maintenance can happen at irregular times, and during maintenance the screen may turn black or green for a while. A practical tip: Tokyo is 13 or 14 hours ahead of the US East Coast, so a US evening is the Tokyo morning rush, which is a good time to see the station at its busiest.
