Fodor's Review:

The work of Kingo Tatsuno, one of Japan's first modern architects, Tokyo Station was completed in 1914. Tatsuno modeled his creation on the railway station of Amsterdam. The building lost its original top story in the air raids of 1945, but was promptly repaired. In the late 1990s, a plan to demolish the station was impeded by public outcry. Inside, it has been deepened and tunneled and redesigned any number of times to accommodate new commuter lines, but the lovely old redbrick facade remains untouched. The best thing about the place is the historical Tokyo Station Hotel, on the west side on the second and third floors.
