The first highrise on the former Water Treatment Plant area in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan; circa 1980s. Citizens were really proud of the next-era developments in the city. It featured in numerous mangas, anime series and movies.

"Shinjuku’s skyscraper district is an architectural marvel for the speed with which it was developed. As recently as 1968, the core of Shinjuku’s high rise district was occupied by the Yodobashi Water Purification Plant 淀橋浄水場. Seen here is a map from circa 1945; Shinjuku Station occupies the center of the map, with the water purification plant located to the left (west)"
