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.
