Summary[edit]

Description

Tokyo Station is a broad, imposing brick building in the Marunouchi business district just east of the Imperial Palace. Tokyo Station serves numerous lines, most notably as the terminal station for several shinkansen bullet train lines.

Tokyo Station is a couple of station stops south of the electronics area of Akihabara and and a little north of the luxury Ginza shopping district.

History of Tokyo Station Tokyo Station's distinctive three story, red-brick facade on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station dates back to 1914, when the building was first opened after 6 years of construction, with four platforms.

The design of Tokyo Station is said to be based on that of Amsterdam Centraal Station in The Netherlands, which opened in 1889. Tokyo Station was badly damaged during World War II but underwent a major renovation, completed in 2012, returning the buildings to their former glory. Further major improvements are currently underway at Tokyo Station, the major project being to make the station barrier-free by 2020, the year the Olympic Games is due to be hosted in Tokyo.
