Tokyu Toyoko shops East Building closing date, Easter! ?

Following on the ground station building of the Toyoko Line Shibuya Station on March 15, the Tokyu Toyoko MiseHigashidate has finished operating in today (March 31, 2008).

1934, opened as a terminal department store to be directly connected to the Shibuya Station. At the time, the highest ground seven-story in Shibuya, such as the further implementation of the evenings of night until 9 o'clock as an attempt of the unique terminal, was a department store Going the tip of the era. Since then, it has been loved as the presence of a symbol of Shibuya for a long time of 78 years until today.

In October 1951, "Goodwill Street" on the 1st floor of the East Building that opened as the first "Japan's biggest shop" in Japan today, like the original father of the department store under the department store, also closed today. From April 4 it will be moved to SHIBUYA MARKCITY .

Memorial plate in the vicinity of the store entrance to mark the birthplace of "goodwill Street". The future, how to move to where the memorial plate?

Closed about one hour before, I had made a large matrix seeking Suites in all goods half-price sale.

Set up a store in the east exit of the road surface in the "Starbucks Coffee Shibuya Tokyu Store", the message is posted on the over-the-counter blackboard loaded with thanks of 12 years. In the end of greeting in the Starbucks staff under one roof it has been made.


Today, March 31, the Christian Easter (Easter). Easter is done in "full moon of the next Sunday after the vernal equinox", it happened so it falls on 31 days this year. My selfish delusion, but I would very much linked to the closing of the Tokyu Toyoko shops East Building (East), felt the thing was cryptic something fate. To begin with, the English Easter of etymology that means "sun = resurrection rise from the east." So to speak, closed the east wing is not "the end", it should not be seem to imply the "Resurrection," "a new departure."

Speaking of which, "New ★ Terminal, begins" advertising signs also seem to like the "morning sun rising from the east." In the future, we want to great expectations in redevelopment willing to go Shibuya from the east exit.

Tokyu Toyoko shops East Building, a long time, it was cheers for good work.
