Can You Feel The Love


One of the most famous sculptures in Shinjuku is this LOVE, which is one of Robert Indiana's works. It's been here since 1993 and is a favorite photo spot for a lot of tourists.

I heard that if you can walk through the V and the E without touching the sculpture, you will find your one true love. May have to try it one of these days...

  3. I've never seen this - it looks like the kind of sculpture that kids would want to climb on, or is that not allowed? I'm sure I wouldn't fit between the V and the E!

  13. Hi everyone! THank you for all the comments! I have yet to try walking through this sculpture...but will be sure to let you all know when I do ;D

    Al, it doesn't say anything about not climbing on it so I think it may be okay!

    Wordsmith, Oh there's one near you, too! That's great. I heard there are quite a lot of them around the world :D

    VP, ooh! I would love to see the one from NY!!! That's the original one, I think :D
