Giant 3D Cat Billboard

4.5 (2985)Tourist AttractionPoint Of InterestEstablishment
Last updated Aug 26, 2026

The Giant 3D Cat Billboard in Tokyo is a popular sight, located in the Shinjuku district. It’s a massive digital display featuring an eye-catching, life-like cat, seen from the busy crossroads below. The cat, shown lounging, meowing, and interacting with the space, appears on a curved LED screen that creates a realistic, three-dimensional effect.

The screen measures 154.7 square meters and has ultra-high definition, which makes the cat seem almost real to viewers passing by. This installation gained attention not only because of the realistic visuals but due to its clever use of the space, making it look as if the cat is peeking out of the billboard.

Installed by Cross Shinjuku Vision, it has become an attraction for locals and tourists. The technology behind this display is known for pushing boundaries in digital advertising. With how visually engaging it is, the Giant 3D Cat Billboard continues to amaze onlookers daily.

Nice experience. Walkable distance from Shinjiku station and it’s worth to visit by night time and you can do necessary shoppings too. Place will be crowded. There will be many street bands, musics and dances too.

This is a cute and very quick thing to check off your list of things to see. The cat videos and interlaced with ads that keep you waiting there between appearances. The videos are short and cute with a really realistic and impressive 3D graphic. This is a lot more of a gimmick than anything and we would say unless it really stands out to you it may even be a skip on your itinerary.

Cute 3D cat that plays every now and then along with general ads. Sometimes the cat is dressed as part of the Metropolitan Police Department and other times more normally. Just a fun little thing to watch if you are in the Shinjuku area. Not sure which phones will pick it up nicely as my older phone managed to film/photograph it okay whilst the newer one struggled.

At the bustling east exit of Shinjuku Station, I was immediately drawn to the world-famous Giant 3D Cat, a viral digital art phenomenon that has become Shinjuku's most beloved modern landmark. Displayed on the massive curved 4K LED screen of the Cross Shinjuku Building since July 2021, this lifelike calico cat measures approximately 8 meters high and 19 meters wide, visible from far across the busy intersection . What makes it truly magical is that no special glasses are needed to experience the stunning 3D effect—from the station square, the cat appears to actually pop out of the screen, stretching, yawning, meowing and even napping throughout the day . It follows a charming daily routine, waking up in the morning, playing during the day and falling asleep at night, with every tiny movement meticulously designed to mimic real feline behavior . Crowds of locals and tourists gather constantly to watch and take photos, turning this digital billboard into a must-visit destination. It perfectly captures Tokyo's innovative spirit, blending cutting-edge technology with playful charm to create an unforgettable urban experience.

Must see landmark right outside Shinjuku Station! Displayed on a massive curved LED screen above the street, this life like calico cat has quickly become one of the defining images people think of when imagining modern Tokyo. Fun & Lifelike Animation: Watching the cat wake up, meow, look down at the crowds below, and curl up for a nap is playful, impressive, and very entertaining. Super Easy to Find: Located right across from the East Exit of Shinjuku Station, it is extremely convenient to check out while exploring the neighborhood. Great Photo Spot: It is a fun, quick stop that captures Tokyo's cutting edge billboard technology and vibrant city energy!
