Tokyo Station

Tokyo Station was opened in 1914 as the central station of Tokyo. The retro appearance of the red brick building is preserved to this day on the Marunouchi side. It is a spacious station where numerous lines such as the Shinkansen, JR local and metro lines cross. Inside and around Tokyo Station, there are areas with souvenir stores, commercial facilities including a restaurant district and the Tokyo Station Hotel. Other than being a transportation hub, Tokyo Station itself is popular as a tourist spot. The lighting at night is a must see!

Dome Decoration

On the Marunouchi side, there is a dome that reproduces the appearance of the original structure as it was back in the day. Many people are attracted to the beautiful Renaissance-style lines. One can see the high level of techniques used back then, from the reliefs of the eto animals (12 animals of the Chinese calendar cycle) and eagles.
