Kyu Shimbashi Teishajo
Minato at a Glance

This picture is of the Kyu Shimbashi Teishajo, the Old Shimbashi Station.
Shimbashi is the point of origin for Japan's first railroad. This spot now bristles with skyscrapers so it is hard to imagine that the original Shimbashi Station used to be here.
The Old Shimbashi Station is a replica of the original Shimbashi station building.
There is also the Railroad History Exhibition Room inside this building.
You can learn what it was like at that time.
Please come and visit one day.
