Tokyo Station Gallery 東京ステーションギャラリー

An art gallery inside the 1914 red-brick Tokyo Station building, where exhibitions hang against the original exposed brick walls and the stairwell overlooks the domed Marunouchi North concourse.

About

Few train stations contain a serious art museum, but Tokyo Station Gallery has been inside Tatsuno Kingo's landmark station building since 1988. After the station's restoration in 2012, the second- and third-floor galleries now show off the original brickwork, wooden beams and charred timbers from the 1945 air raids, giving each exhibition a warm, historic backdrop. Shows range widely, from modern Japanese painters and architects to design, photography and folk art, and are usually more offbeat than the big Ueno blockbusters. The best moment comes between floors, when the route leads onto an internal gallery overlooking the ornate Marunouchi North dome, with its restored eagle reliefs and zodiac carvings, from just a few metres away.

Highlights

• Exhibitions hung on the station's original 1914 red brick
• Gallery balcony looking down into the Marunouchi North dome
• Burnt timbers and bricks preserved from the 1945 air raid
• Eclectic exhibitions of modern Japanese art and design
• Museum shop with station-themed goods

Tips

• Enter at the Marunouchi North Exit inside the dome, the entrance is easy to miss.
• Combine with Intermediatheque (free) and KITTE rooftop garden, both 3 minutes away.
• Fridays open until 20:00, a great pre-dinner stop before the evening trains.
