Description

Night view of Marunouchi side of Tokyo railway station in the Chiyoda City, Tokyo, Japan. The station is divided into Marunouchi and Yaesu sides in its directional signage. The station first called Central Station was built in 1914 directly in front of the Imperial Palace gardens. The three-story station building was designed by architect Tatsuno Kingo who also designed Manseibashi Station and the nearby Bank of Japan building. Much of the station was destroyed in B-29 firebombing on May 25, 1945. The bombing shattered the impressive rooftop domes. The station was quickly rebuilt within the year, but simple angular roofs were built in place of the domes, and the restored building was only two stories tall instead of three.
