Description
A warm welcome to Tokyo’s magnificent gateway. You stand before the Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station, a true icon. This is not just a station; it is the city’s grand, romantic “front door,” a cherished symbol of Japan’s modern era, born in 1914.
We invite you to step inside and feel the echoes of a century of journeys. Pause and look up. Stand beneath the breathtaking North and South Domes, reborn to their original splendor. These soaring, cathedral-like spaces are adorned with intricate reliefs, a spectacle of light and shadow.
This building is a true phoenix. It survived the great earthquake and was scarred by war, only to be lovingly restored. It stands as the grand vestibule to the Imperial Palace, a timeless bridge between eras. We are so delighted you are here to share in its beauty.
