Tokyo Station is one of the most prominent terminal stations in Japan. The Tokaido Shinkansen and Tohoku Shinkansen, which traverse Japan like a backbone, connect to this station.
東京駅の西側の丸の内口はレンガ作りのレトロな雰囲気。The Marunouchi Exit on the west side of Tokyo Station has a brick retro atmosphere.
At the end of the Greater East Asia War, the building was burned down in an air raid by the U.S. military, leaving only the brick walls and concrete parts. Restoration work began after the war, and the three-story building was replaced with a two-story structure, and the dome and other parts were restored.

その後、再度復元工事を行い、丸の内側の北口、南口の屋根の形状もドーム型に再現されました。
ドーム内の天井は装飾され、とてもきれいなので、東京駅に来た際は、見上げてみることをお勧めします。
Later, the building was restored again, and the roofs of the north and south entrances on the Marunouchi side were also recreated in the shape of a dome.
The domed ceilings are decorated and very beautiful, and we recommend that you look up at them when you visit Tokyo Station.
