History intertwined with reality - Tokyo Station

🌟Highlights: The Tokyo Station, with a history of over a hundred years, still retains its old western style after several renovations. The station was built in 1914 and was restored in 2012, earning the title of 'Central Station'. The station has 28 platforms, with 4000 trains passing through daily, making it a hub of Japan's railway system. The station is characterized by its red brick architecture and symmetrical horizontal expansion. 🚉Travel Guide: In addition to the subway, it is highly recommended to walk 15 minutes from Ginza to Tokyo Station. Along the way, you can pass by the Tokyo Internal Forum, which has an open-air pedestrian street lined with restaurants and exhibition halls, and food trucks of various styles, making it lively and charming. 📸Photography Spots 1KITTE Building: Close to the south side of the station, you can capture the entire Tokyo Station from the side, as well as some railway lines and vehicles behind the station. The sixth floor of the building has an open-air viewing platform. The triangular building added by Kengo Kuma on the basis of the original Tokyo Post and Telecommunications Office, the restaurant on the side of the station allows you to enjoy the night view while dining. Station Square: The square in front of the station's main hall allows you to capture the front view from the ground level, adding the passing pedestrians makes the picture more lively. Shin-Marunouchi Building: The open-air viewing platform on the 6th floor of the building allows you to view Tokyo Station and the KITTE Building from the north side, offering an excellent view. The terrace is connected to a restaurant, allowing you to enjoy the view while dining. Note: The Shin-Marunouchi Building and the Marunouchi Building are two separate buildings. 📝An hour before sunset is the blue hour, it is recommended to shoot at the station square first, and then go to the viewing building after it gets dark.
