Tokyo Station

Every Shinkansen starting from the metropolitan area departs from Tokyo station. Although Shinjuku station has more users, Tokyo station plays a great roll just like the airport for passengers leaving from Tokyo. When built in (), the station building had renaissance style with round domes, but the dorms were lost by the bomb during WW2. After the war, the building was repaired in 1940s, but the roof was changed to linear pyramid style. Nowadays the building is surrounded by skysrapers, but the building is recognized as an important historical construciton. In the current plan, the round domes will be restored.
