We went with Haruko to Tokyo Station, to get familiar with how to find the bullet train Shinkansen line that will take us to Hokkaido in a couple of days. It's the busiest station in Japan, with more than 3,000 departures a day, and of course is very modern. Surprisingly, however, its western facade and entry are the originals (rebuilt after WWII) from 1914.
Tokyo Station is also a big bus terminal, so — it being a rainy afternoon — we decided to take a bus tour of Tokyo Bay, which has been undergoing substantial redevelopment - some of it in preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games. I was unable to get many decent photos, given the speeding bus and the rain, but this one of a multi-story golf driving practice facility was interesting.
