The Tokyo Railway Station has quite a unique design. Although the shape is different, one cannot help but think that there is quite a bit of similarity with the Amsterdam Central Railway Station. Not that it matters, but the whole idea of red bricks and layers looks too similar to be coincidence. In any case the station has served Tokyo very well and its design has no parallel anywhere else in Japan and so it has gained its unique status.

Bullet Train Kōbe Station

Important:

Shin-Kōbe Station is high up in the hills, quite a way away from Kōbe Station, which is downtown. Shin in this context means Shinkansen, which means bullet train. People who arrive on the bullet train in Kōbe still need to get down to the city. Mind you, there is plenty of transport – very convenient.

More information on Tokyo’s Shinjuku Station (largest railway station in Japan). We read somewhere that in one day some four million people plus go through Shinjuku Station. Believe it or not?! Well, we didn’t count them, but it sure was unbelievably crowded!
