About This Photo

The Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store occupies the right side of this wide-angle street photograph taken from the Nihonbashi intersection in Chuo, Tokyo. The department store building features a cream-white neoclassical stone facade with arched windows, ornamental detailing, and red canvas awnings at ground level. Vertical red banners bearing the MITSUKOSHI name run along the facade's upper floors. To the left stands COREDO Muromachi 3, a modern glass-and-steel retail complex. Pedestrians cross at the intersection in motion blur, and a black taxi displaying the S.RIDE app advertisement occupies the foreground right. In the mid-background, a tower under active construction rises behind a teal safety mesh, its steel frame surrounded by red-and-white cranes against a partly cloudy blue sky. This juxtaposition of the Mitsukoshi building — first opened at this location in 1914 and rebuilt in its current Art Deco-influenced form in 1935 — alongside an active high-rise construction site documents an ongoing phase of urban redevelopment in central Tokyo. The photo suits editorial use cases for Tokyo city guides, real estate and urban development reporting, and business news articles covering retail or infrastructure investment. The image is free for editorial and commercial use without attribution required.
