History of Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station's distinctive three story, red-brick facade on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station dates back to 1914, when the building was first opened after 6 years of construction, with four platforms.
The design of Tokyo Station is said to be based on that of Amsterdam Centraal Station in The Netherlands, which opened in 1889. Tokyo Station was badly damaged during World War II but underwent a major renovation, completed in 2012, returning the buildings to their former glory. Further major improvements are currently underway at Tokyo Station, the major project being to make the station barrier-free by 2020, the year the Olympic Games is due to be hosted in Tokyo.

Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum
The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum opened in April 2010 in the Marunouchi district of Tokyo near Tokyo Station.
The Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum building is an almost complete recreation of the original Mitsubishi Ichigokan structure that stood on the same spot and was designed by British architect Josiah Conder in 1894. The original Mitsubishi Ichigokan was a concrete-reinforced brick structure built to survive earthquakes but met the wreckers' ball in 1968.(Quotations from Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum Site)
