Renewal Tokyo Station 東京駅(新)


Tokyo Station Marunouchi Exit
 After I heard about the renewal of Tokyo Station (2012) I actually wanted to see the building with my own eyes since it was restored to Pre-War conditions. The Station itself started in 1914, ever since the station suffered greatly after bombing of Tokyo and it took years to restore.










   The building itself is well known for using red bricks (Aka Renga) and it symbolized Recovery and Prosperity-recovering from after war, surviving great Kantou Earthquake, and supporting during high economic  development era. Not to mention, privatizing railway.









おいしい!(yum delicious-Oishii)
Look! They even made a bread that looks like the Red Brick (Aka-Renga). Exact same size as the ones used in Tokyo Station. Definitely going to be a famous treat for sightseeing. Sooo popular it is limited to only 4 per customer (250yen each)
