For the first time in 49 years a new station has opened on the JR Yamanote Line. The uniquely-shaped roof covers the entire station building for an integrated design, while the lighting design aims to boost landmark appeal. Instead of conventional lighting methods figured around safe lux levels, the lighting design took lead from the architectural intent, and through a control system for dimming and color tones, aims to create a new type of train station conscious of ever-changing transitions of natural light.
