#4 Akasaka Palace Main Gate 赤坂離宮正門

The high number of visitors is due to the palace’s waived entrance fee at the beginning of the year. The line to enter seemed never-ending.

The Marunouchi building we see in the 1932 image was completed in 1923. The same year, the Kantō Earthquake damaged the building. Reconstruction completed in 1926. In 1999, the building was destroyed by Mitsubishi Estate and the building we see today was completed in 2002.

#48 Tokyo Station 東京駅

January 4, 2020 by Ren Makino

Taking a picture from the same angle was impossible due to the high ground being fenced off. The station seen in the 1932 picture opened in 1914, but was destroyed in 1945 due to the air raids.

I visited the Imperial Palace on the day of general visitation celebrating the new year (一般参賀) on January 2nd. For this reason, I could not take a picture from the same angle.
