100th Anniversary Event of Tokyo Station

[Koedo Itabashi] Nov. 26, 2014 09:00

A bronze statue of a lion lying down.

It's amazing.

This is a lion statue at the entrance of Mitsukoshi Department Store.

Why are you sitting at a meeting spot at Tokyo Station, "Silver Bell"?

I'm going around.

"Rose-chan" from Takashimaya. Daimaru's "Sakura Panda".

Oh, yeah.

In recent years, costumes have appeared everywhere in the Yuru-chara boom.

However, there are not many opportunities for department store characters to gather.

Moreover, it became a "silver bell" in the ticket gate at the Yaesu Exit underground entrance of Tokyo Station.

If you read the manual, it will be an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the opening of Tokyo Station and the memorial of Yaesuguchi Station Square.

The characters will be gathered until November 30.

Tokyo Station opened on December 20, 1914 (Daisho 3).

As the gateway to the capital Tokyo, as a major transportation hub

It has played an important role as a base for the transmission of Japanese economy and culture.

We endured the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.

Some were burned down in the air raid of the war.

The restoration work of the Marunouchi Red Brick Station building was completed in 2012.

Completed the Yaesu Exit Grand Roof in 2013.

There was a time when I was commuting to Marunouchi, and I used the station almost every day.

100 years of change and a period of growth.

I can't say anything.

By the way, "Tokyo Station 100th Anniversary Hospitality Counter" is set up in the green window in the center of Yaesu.

Then he said, "Let's go! Get the map from Tokyo Station to Nihonbashi 100 Years Walk.

This map is attractive.

Fukutoku Shrine in Nihonbashi Muromachi, where shrine hall was rebuilt in October this year, was also depicted.

This is the latest map around Nihonbashi from Tokyo Station Yaesu to 2014.

So that it can be compared with this

It also contains a map of the Taisho 3's 100 years ago and a map of the first year of Mannobu Edo and late Tokugawa shogunate.

If you look at it

The building that remains over time. The flow of rivers and diggings that disappeared.

You can discover such a change.

At the "hospitality counter" mentioned earlier, we received a commemorative replica hard ticket and a red brick station building-shaped mount.

The date of the hard ticket ticket is "14.12.20."

This is quite good.

With the map in hand, Daimaru Tokyo store, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, and Choredo Muromachi.

Visit each information center and information, and insert the obtained hard ticket into the mount.

The thrilling feeling of childhood when collecting hard tickets for the Japanese National Railways is revived.

The show window of the department store was completely replaced by a Christmas version, Osechi guide.

It was a tour of Nihonbashi that had a slightly different taste than usual.
