The One about the Black/White Photo Series 010: Robot Restaurant (2015)

This photo was taken 2.5 years after “Robot Restaurant” opened in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho area. 2015 to be exact.

That January, the restaurant went up to over 150 seats (considering in 2012, they had only 40) and that very year, would be the first time the restaurant would surpass 100,000 visitors (and that’s with the price increase to Y7,000).

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the once very popular Robot Restaurant appears to be closed. The sign on top of the building is now gone but in October 2021, the company posted a message “We are not dead yet”. Let’s hope this entertainment company returns when things somewhat return to normal.
