Waseda El Dorado is a work of art designed by Japanese architect, Von Jour Caux (aka Toshiro Tanaka), who is an architect often referred to as Japan's Gaudi. Located just a few minutes walk from Waseda station in Shinjuku, Tokyo, this colorful building is a unique mix of Art Nouveau and Japanese culture. The first floor is currently home to Dorado gallery and Baroque art & antique store. I love the eclectic mix of traditional Japanese patterns and Art Deco motifs. If you have some time in your next visit to Tokyo, you might want to swing by and take a look at the amazing details in person!
