The Tokyo Central Railway Station is a commanding brick building east of the Imperial Palace, south of Akihabara, and slightly north of Ginza in the business district of Marunouchi. Originally designed in 1914 to reflect Amsterdam’s Central Station, the three-story station showcased a red-brick façade. Unfortunately, it was damaged during the Second World War, and underwent a renovation that wasn’t completed until 2012. Although it was restored to its pre-WWII splendor, it is set to undergo yet another round of improvements to be completed by 2020. It serves countless railway lines, but is most prominently known for its Shinkansen bullet trains.
