Have you ever seen Tokyo station covered in a soft blanket of snow? It's truly a breathtaking sight to behold! The contrast of the white snow against the city's bustling energy creates a magical atmosphere that is simply unforgettable. If you ever get the chance to experience it for yourself, I highly recommend it!

This place is often compared to the renowned Tokyo station by many tourists. It used to be the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice but now serves as the Institute of Legal Affairs and the Legal Library. The Meiji period construction was designed by two competent German architects. Despite being damaged in World War II, it was successfully restored. The symmetrical and majestic architecture of the building is simply breathtaking. The European style of the Meiji period is beautifully represented in this structure and looks even more stunning during the rare snowfall in Tokyo. Exploring new places in this bustling city during the snow season is an experience worth having.

Tokyo Station in the middle of the night I didn't know that the lights went out at 21 o'clock. But I got a good photo, so the result is alright!

Tokyo station🚉 Last night was a heavy snowfall that occurs ☃ only once in several years This time, I took a picture of the classic Tokyo station and snow. As it is a famous place, it was 🤣 overflowing with many photographers

I took a picture of Tokyo Station from Marunouchi KITTE in Tokyo. Tokyo Station opened on December 20, 1914. The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 caused almost no damage, but it was damaged by the Tokyo Air Raid in 1945. After the war, the Marunouchi station building was rebuilt with a reduced number of floors, and in 2012 (Heisei 24), it was restored to its appearance at the time of opening.

Tokyo Station, Tokyo　 The sight that can be seen only on rainy days is beautiful ♡ᴗ̈*⑅୨୧

This is the Christmas tree on the first floor of KITTE Marunouchi that I stopped by before going out to eat with my family on Saturday, December 24, 2022. I happened to know about its existence on the TV program "Wandering Stopover" on Japan. Every year in December, a huge Christmas tree is set up, and there are regular competitions between illuminations and music. #Travel #Photo Contest #Tokyo Station #KITTE Marunouchi

Toro soba noodles eaten at the top of Mt. Takao I soaked 😋 into my tired body

There are many people who do not go to Tokyo Station and do not know about the International Forum and KITTE. If you live in Tokyo, please go there. It's beautiful!

A nice Christmas tree I found near Akabane Station. I'm pretty excited for the holidays. I like the romantic format of Christmas in Japan much more than I do the spending time with family version in America. There's something about the cold weather that makes it feel romantic spending time together with the person special to you. Another great thing about this time of year is all of the buffets! I love going to the buffets and trying all the different food. It's a much different style than the U.S. too which is fun. I can't say I don't miss eating a nice Christmas ham or turkey with some stuffing (basically the same as thanksgiving lol), but what's awesome about the buffets is they always have some sort of prime rib or king crab, one really special item that everyone lines up for lol. One thing I miss is the holiday portion of Christmas back in America, but the New Years holiday in Japan more than makes up for it. Also the illuminations in Japan are always awesome. Places like Ginza, Tokyo Station, etc. always have incredibly beautiful showings. Didn't get to go to any last year, but this year I'm hoping to be able to visit at least one!

I stopped by Tokyo Station over the weekend to take care of an errand and decided to have lunch at the gyutan restaurant "Rikyu" (利久). Everything tasted amazing and the stew was especially good. I always enjoy the soup served with gyutan, it's sort of like a refreshing break in between the savory bites of beef. Plus the beef inside of the soup is soft from being boiled and has a really nice texture to it. I was pretty surprised at the salad actually, as well. I usually am not a fan of the salads served with gyutan but this one had the perfect amount of beef on it and the dressing tasted quite nice, so that was a welcome surprise. The wagashi served with it tasted really good. I'm not sure about what it was exactly, but it was red bean paste with some sort of white filling, maybe even white bean paste, but it was a good way to finish the meal.
