. Conceived as the city's first rail hub, the European-style brick
station opened in 1914.
Marunouchi Building
Walking west from the station, you'll pass the
Marunouchi Building
, first erec-
ted in 1923 when Marunouchi was taking shape as the city's first modern business
district. The building emerged 30 storeys taller after a renovation in 2001, but the
street level facade evokes the original structure. From the
lounge
on the 35th
floor you can see all the way to the Imperial Palace.
