About JR Tokyo Station (JR East & JR Central)
The station is very large. If you feel lost inside the gates, go to the 1st floor. It’s easier to find your way there.
Shinkansen gates are on the Yaesu side. You can transfer from regular JR lines without exiting.
To reach Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, use the B1 floor gate called “Marunouchi Underground Central Gate.”

The History of Tokyo Station
The Tokyo Station Marunouchi building was completed in 1914. It survived the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923.
During World War II, much of the 3F was destroyed.
The building operated as two stories for many years.
In 2003, it became a National Important Cultural Property. A five-year restoration project was completed in 2012. The red-brick design is now fully restored.
It’s a popular photo spot in Tokyo.
