A Blast from The Past as Historic Route For New Envoys Is Revived

The completion of a major face-lift of the square in front of JR Tokyo Station heralds the return of pomp and pageantry to this historic area of the capital. The Gyoko-dori avenue leading away from the famed red-brick station building on the Marunouchi side has traditionally served as the route for incoming foreign ambassadors making their way to the Imperial Palace to present their credentials to the emperor. The starting point for the horse-drawn carriages was switched to the Meiji Seimei Kan building southwest of the station in 2007 when renovation work got under way.
