Tokyo Station has the most passing trains per day in Japan (about 3,000). Plans for the station started as early as 1889 but construction was delayed due to the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese Wars. The station opened its doors on December 20, 1914 with just four platforms. Much of the station was destroyed during World War II, although repairs were made in 1946. Renovations in the last five years have recently restored the building to its pre-War appearance, including the dome-shaped roofs.
