It’s rather deluxe, of course. I’m told it has a 2000 sq/ft art gallery. The Daimaru
department store. A vast underground mall. Two hotels where you can get
fabulous rooms for $300 a night. 11 fabled restaurants.
Tokyo Station, Marunochi faces the Imperial Palace and Mitsubishi Meadow,
and hosts the large, seldom-used entrance reserved for the Imperial Family.
The original, more-ornate station building was built in 1914 with 9 million bricks,,
and was modeled after the main station in Amsterdam. Gone with the War.
It has marbled concourses and the ceilings in places must be 50 feet high.
Maybe 50,000 other people walked with me through here and down the street to
the colorful Tokyo Millionario in the middle of the night, just before New Year’s.
