Tokyo Station Blue Hour

After photographing the dome interior of Tokyo Station, we went up to the rooftop of Kitte building standing right next to the station to take a picture at the blue hour.

The red-brick building is a historic architecture which had received little damage from the Great Kanto Erthquake in 1923 and survived the Tokyo air raids during World War II, before reconstruction work on the building began in 2007.

The Passion of engineers restored the domes and brought the interior back to the way they looked when the station was originally built. Structural reinforcement was also completed, installing an innovative underground seismic isolation system for reducing the damage by possible earthquakes.

Surrounded by modern skyscrapers, this imposing building has regal dignity in the heart of Tokyo.
