Tourist attraction • Japan, 〒160-0021 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Kabukichō, 1-chōme−29−１ 東急歌舞伎町タワ 2F
Located in the heart of Tokyo's Shinjuku, Kabukicho. Amidst the neon lights of the arcade, there is a conspicuously unique space unfolding. Named "Build Burger", this mysterious place is actually an installation that elevates trash into art. Everyday items such as plastic bags, PET bottles, and styrofoam have been infused with new life by creative hands.
Upon entering the store, it feels like stepping into a different dimension. Trash mountains hanging from the ceiling and overflowing trash on the walls create an overwhelming sense of scale. However, upon closer inspection, each piece has been meticulously crafted, creating a surreal worldview. The playful production, utilizing the unique shapes of each piece of trash, might make you involuntarily smile.
This innovative space naturally prompts visitors to point their cameras. While being intoxicated by the artistic atmosphere, distinct from the usual garbage found in the city, you can enjoy capturing photographs from various angles. There are sure to be many Instagrammable photos to be taken.
Access to Build Burger is about an 8-minute walk from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It is recommended to confirm the location in advance as it is through a narrow alley after passing through the arcade. Opening hours are from 12:00 to 20:00. Admission is free, but there is a charge for using the toilet.
Built from trash, the astonishing art space "Build Burger" is definitely attention-grabbing. You can immerse yourself in a quiet and unique worldview that is completely different from the bustling atmosphere of Kabukicho. Perhaps, you may find new value and charm in the often overlooked trash.
