The Tokyo Central Post Office in Marunouchi, right in front of Tokyo Station, is being rebuilt, but it is still new to its name recently. He said, "Because it was Historic buildings in the early Showa era, it was designated as a cultural property." After all, I left the necessary parts. In recent years, it seems to be a part of the project. You can see the current situation of the demolition work site from the upper floor of the Maru Building. You can see how it's going.

By the way, where has this Tokyo Central Post Office moved now?

Yes, I think many of you know, but it is in front of Tokyo Station, but it is open on the other side of Marunouchi, in front of Yaesu Exit. It was temporarily relocated from Chiyoda-ku to Chuo-ku.

Speaking of which, what is the birthplace of Japan's postal system? Chuo-ku. In 1871 (1871), the modern postal system was established, and Ekiteishi was established as a central agency in charge of postal services, and postal offices were set up in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto as handling agencies. In the location of the Nihonbashi Post Office on the south side of Edobashi, the former station priest and the Tokyo Post Office were located.
