that store stands over shibuya station. that helps pull in customers to the shop basement and ground floors. but until recently few people made it to the top of the building. now they've got a reason. an outdoor pond inspired by monet's masterpiece "water lilies." when they're not gazing at the view rooftop patrons can wine and dine. dishes from around the world. >> translator: it doesn't lo at all. it's beautiful. fantastic. it's my first time, and i like it very much. >> translator: this could have been made into a commercial space, but instead they created a natural space, and that's what's attracting me. >> reporter: store managers say using the top level has paid off. the roof attracted 7,000 people a day since it opened. transforming empty space into customers. no renovation was needed at this shopping complex. it opened for business in the tokyo suburbs last november and planners made rooftop traffic a priority from the start. they had a specific crowd in mind -- the residents of nearby condominium condominiums. peop
