Shinjuku Station in 3D

They're connecting Tokyo and Nihonbashi stations underground which will effective connect 10 stations in total with underground passages so that would be another interesting 3d map

Also, that map seems incomplete by at least a 3rd. The connection between it and Shinjuku-3-chome station is missing (the hallways just arbitrarily stop on that map) and the tunnels from there to the south entrance of Shinjuku station are missing as well as 3 more train platforms. I suppose you could argue that's a different station which is fine, but the fact that tunnels don't end where they appear to on this map is misleading.

Finally I'll be able to properly follow JJK season 2

Can’t help but think of the 3D map of Midgar from FF7 when I look at this

For me it's more metroid prime than FF. Just needs the coloured doors!

What are the steep angle arrows indicating? Too steep for an escalator/stairs, but not 90 degrees like an elevator would need to be. Anyone know?

It turns off if you uncheck "hokousha/pedestrian network". Based on their placement I'm pretty sure they are elevators, I wonder if they actually do have that angle.

Some of the not quite 90 slopes seem to be due to arrows representing more of topological structure not necessarily accurate geometric representation. Could be elevators with doors on both sides, connect doors on opposite sides and you will get a bit of slope. Some of them might spiral stairways. The vertical spacing between floors is likely also exaggerated for clarity. Underground there might be larger gaps since the train tunnels need to go over each other under the rivers and what not, but there is no way 3 above ground floors (4f-2f) have empty gap 5x the ceiling height of individual floor.

Very cool and very performant

This is beautiful. I went there 20 years ago and my mind was blown then how big it was but I really had no idea!

It is still the busiest train station in the world by far:

Probably. They count journeys involving Shinjuku as an interchange as two separate, independent journeys.

Now we just need an app that links your location in 3d space so you can finally easily navigate Shinjuku.

Please don't do this. The station is very busy and the commuters do not have time to navigate around people focused on their smartphones.

Instead, familiarize yourself with the general layout. There's no need to memorize the entire map, only the portion you will be using. Inside the station there are plenty of signs overhead and even on the floor to help navigate.

looks like a doom level

Doom cannot have hallways above or below other hallways without teleport hacks.

But you could do it in Quake.
