Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
東京駅丸の内駅舎
The red-brick station building designed by Tatsuno Kingo in 1914. Its two domes were restored in 2012, and you can look over the whole station from the rooftop garden of KITTE.
The Marunouchi Building of Tokyo Station was designed by Tatsuno Kingo and completed in 1914. Its Renaissance-style exterior, with red brick and white granite trim, is a representative example of modern Japanese architecture and is designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The domes were destroyed during the war and were restored in 2012 as two domes, north and south. The relief-decorated ceilings inside the domes can be admired by looking up from the ticket gate hall. The station building also houses the Tokyo Station Hotel and the Tokyo Station Gallery. The best place for panoramic photos is the Marunouchi Station Plaza across the way, as well as the free rooftop garden on the 6th floor of the KITTE building. Underground, you will find the Tokyo Ramen Street, the Tokyo Character Street, and Gransta, a concentration of souvenir shops. In winter, the champagne-gold illuminations along Naka-dori in Marunouchi are also beautiful.
