Very Nice Old 1929 OTIS (md 2007) Tr. Elevators@Matsuzakaya Ueno Dep. Store Main Bldg, Tokyo, Japan
Filmed in January 2016. The current main building of the Matsuzakaya department store in Ueno, Tokyo, dates back to 1929, and these main elevators used to have elevator girls, but since the modernization in 2007, this stopped. I forgot to film the elevator lobbies because I was in a hurry. The South building of the department store was demolished in 2014 to make room for a new skyscraper - it was built in 1957 and included Mitsubishi elevators that had been modernized in the early 1990s...
