To get to Shinjuku Takashimaya, the closest exit is the Miraina Tower ticket gate at JR Shinjuku Station, but you can also access it from the New South Exit ticket gate and the Southern Terrace ticket gate.
Then, after exiting the ticket gate and heading towards the NEWoMan entrance, you'll see the Takashimaya entrance, which looks like a terrace.
Takashimaya's 12th floor has restaurants and Uniqlo. If you go through the passage in front of the Chinese restaurant "Din Tai Fung" next to Uniqlo, you can get to the outdoor terrace.

The terrace has set opening hours: from 10:00 to 19:00 from March to October, and from 10:00 to 18:00 from November to February.
It seems like it closes earlier in the winter.
And, there was a place on the terrace where you could sit and take a break while enjoying the view of Shinjuku!

The outdoor terrace of Takashimaya has glass-enclosed benches where you can see a panoramic view of Shinjuku!
It's open and spacious, so you can relax and take a break.
It's close to the station and easy to get to, so it's also recommended when you visit Shinjuku for sightseeing!

When I visited around lunchtime on a weekday, there were quite a few women eating their packed lunches!
If you're looking for a place to eat lunch in Shinjuku, why not consider this option!?

Since it's outdoors, there's no air conditioning, but it's an advantage that it's open even on holidays.
Because of the good scenery, it seems like a hidden spot. Maybe it's a good idea for couples to use it for a date in Shinjuku!?

It wasn't just the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building's observation space that offered a view of Shinjuku!
It's nice to have when you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku and just relax.
Also, there's a place to take a walk after going up the stairs from the terrace, so please stop by.
So, why not use it as a place to take a break and sit down around Shinjuku, along with your shopping at Shinjuku Takashimaya?
