I know Umeda has always had a lot of shops but they feel spread out so I don't think of it as having a lot of shops. Now this massive new station ties everything together and the consumer district seems so much bigger.
I am also amazed at the amount being developed while the general consensus is that the economy is still sluggish.
@strati5phere I haven't taken any photos there. For the most part the scale of the station makes it really hard to capture from the inside. As you can see in the video I completely missed the 20 story section until I went to the roof. I'll see if I can take some another time.

i recall that the station was under construction last year.I like the big screen meeting area there. That really is a cool area. Imagine how much money is involved with all that, who is backing it all. Thanks for showing this Whitney, I have asked other friends for updates on specific areas, Glad to see all the development. You take any photos of the architecture around Umeda?
