Slightly contrary to the seeming grand scale of the business district is the distinct lack of people and cars in the area. This location seems to be the only one in which any people are visible. This may be a testament to the fact that everyone is in an office and there is nothing other than offices in the area (no commercial stores). This is interesting when considering Tokyo's history of rigid separation of districts across occupational lines. Is this a remnant of that cultural phenomenon or simply a result of business growing so much that it took up an entire section of Tokyo?
