Uma voltinha ao redor da estacao de Tokyo. A trilha sonora ta bem breguinha, mas gosto dessa musica, hehehe Tokyo Station (東京駅, Tōkyō-eki) is a train station located in the Marunouchi business district of Tokyo, near the Imperial Palace grounds and the Ginza commercial district. It is the starting point and terminus for most of Japan's Shinkansen lines and is also served by many local and regional commuter lines of Japan Railways and is connected to the Tokyo Subway. Tokyo Station is the main intercity rail terminal in Tokyo, the busiest when measured by number of trains per day (over 4,000), the second-largest after Shinjuku, and the third-busiest in terms of passenger throughput after Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. In 1889, a Tokyo municipal committee drew up plans for an elevated railway line connecting the Tōkaidō Main Line terminal at Shinbashi to the Nippon Railway (now Tohoku Main Line) terminal at Ueno. The Imperial Diet resolved in 1896 to construct a new station on this line called Central Station (中央停車場, Chuo Teishajo), located directly in front of the gardens of the Imperial Palace. Construction was delayed due to the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War, but finally commenced in 1908. The three-story station building was designed by architect Tatsuno Kingo (who also designed the nearby Bank of Japan building) as a restrained celebration of Japan's costly victory in the Russo-Japanese War. Tokyo Station opened on December 18, 1914; the Chuo Main Line extension to the station was completed in 1919. During this early era, the station only had gates on the Marunouchi side, with the north side serving as an exit and the south side serving as an entrance. In 1921, Prime Minister Hara Takashi was assassinated at the south gates. The Yaesu side of the station opened in 1929. Much of the station was destroyed in two B-29 firebombings on May 25 and June 25, 1945. These bombings shattered the impressive glass domes that had been patterned after Amsterdam's central station. The station was quickly rebuilt within the year, but simple angular roofs were built in place of the domes, and the restored building was only two stories tall instead of three. The Yaesu side was also rebuilt following the war, but the rebuilt structure was damaged by fire in 1949, and the Yaesu side was then significantly upgraded with a contemporary exterior and large Daimaru department store. The new Yaesu side facilities opened in 1953 and were later used to accommodate the first Shinkansen services in 1964. The Yaesu side was partially rebuilt again in 1991 to accommodate the Shinkansen extension from Ueno. The station complex is presently being redeveloped. The Marunouchi side will be restored and the surrounding area converted into a broad plaza extending into a walkway toward the Imperial Palace, with space for bus and taxi ranks: this construction is scheduled for completion in 2010. On the Yaesu side, the current multi-story exterior will be replaced by a much lower structure with a large canopy covering outdoor waiting and loading areas, and twin high-rise towers at each end. This project will be completed in 2007. There are also less definite plans to build a spur from the nearby Toei Asakusa Line, which would provide Tokyo Station a second direct connection to the subway network, and also possibly provide faster connections from the station to Tokyo's airports, Haneda and Narita.
