Tokyo Station - 東京駅


Tokyo Station, seen from from the west (Marunouchi) side. It is the original 1914 red-brick station building, modeled on the central station in Amsterdam at that time.
Tokyo Station may not look especially big, especially when viewed from the Marunouchi side, but inside you can find twenty platforms above ground and eight more below. Underground passages extend like tentacles to subway line stations; you could spend hours walking around this part of Tokyo and never rise to street level once.
