東京駅の建物と景観は、歴史的な風格と現代的なデザインが融合した魅力があります。特に丸の内側の赤レンガ駅舎は、1914年に開業した際のクラシカルなデザインが特徴で、東京のシンボルとして多くの人に親しまれています。この駅舎は、ルネサンス様式を取り入れた壮大な建築で、ドーム型の屋根や精巧なレンガ造りが目を引きます。2007年から2012年にかけて行われた大規模な改修工事により、開業当時の姿に忠実に復元されました。丸の内駅舎の前に広がる「丸の内駅前広場」は、観光客や地元の人々がくつろげるオープンスペースとして整備され、駅舎とのコントラストが美しいです。特に夜になるとライトアップされ、歴史的な駅舎がより一層映えます。一方、八重洲側はビジネス街に面しており、現代的な高層ビルが立ち並びます。八重洲口のグランルーフという大きなガラス屋根は、近未来的なデザインが特徴で、丸の内側とは対照的な景観を作り出しています。東京駅は、日本の鉄道網の要としての機能性と、歴史的・文化的な価値を併せ持つ場所であり、その建物や景観は観光やビジネスの中心地として多くの人を引き寄せています。

東京駅に行きました‼️ 東京駅は久しぶりでますます綺麗になってるー。子供から大人まで一日中遊べるし、退屈しない。今まで空港ばかり使っていたけど、東京駅は楽しい〜。トイレがまず綺麗です。もちろん施設は綺麗ですが、水というコンセプトがあって、連れを待っている間でも退屈しない様にトイレのスクリーンで東京駅と水の映像がずっと流れている。
