Yodobashi Camera Head Store Sign, Shinjuku, Tokyo

Yodobashi Camera's Head Store sits near the West Exit of Shinjuku Station, one of the busiest rail terminals in the world. The chain got its start in 1960 as a camera shop in Yodobashi, western Tokyo, before expanding into a nationwide electronics retailer with more than 20 outlets across the city. The Shinjuku complex spreads across several separate buildings, each specializing in a different product category, from cameras and computers to home appliances and watches. Rooftop signage in Japanese and English marks the store's various sections, a fixture of the Shinjuku skyline since the chain's expansion into the neighborhood in the 1970s.
