Seibu-Shinjuku Station Live Cam

Historical Evolution

Since the opening of Seibu Shinjuku Station in 1958, the Pepe Square Intersection has emerged as a focal point of urban connectivity and commercial dynamism. Originally conceived as a modest street-level crossing in front of the station’s south exit, the intersection underwent radical transformation during the economic boom of the 1970s and 1980s. As the Seibu Railway expanded services to meet the demands of growing passenger traffic, city planners reconfigured the roadway layout, introducing traffic signals, wider pedestrian sidewalks, and a dedicated scramble crossing to facilitate efficient movement.
