Tokyo Station is a terminal station that can be called the front door of the capital, Tokyo. JR positions Tokyo Station as the “central station” and plays a central role in Japanese railways in both name and reality, such as by using it as the starting point for “up and down” that indicates the direction of travel of trains. Tokyo Station was completed in 1914. The red brick Marunouchi exit station building in front of the Imperial Palace was designated as a national important cultural property in 2003. The situation at that time is introduced on the YouTube channel.
