Planning notes for Shinjuku City
Shinjuku City, one of Tokyo's 23 special wards, originated as a post station (shukuba) on the Koshu Kaido highway during the Edo period (1603–1868). Its name, which translates to "New Way Station," reflects its 1698 establishment to serve travelers moving between Edo and central Japan. Following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, the district’s stable ground led to rapid development as a commercial center. While 90% of the area was destroyed during 1945 air raids.
