Gyokodori Street runs in a straight line from the plaza in front of Tokyo Station to the Imperial Palace. Rows of boutiques and cafes line Marunouchi Nakadori Street and Gyokodori Street crossing in the North-South direction. One of the distinctive features of Marunouchi is the historical buildings, such as the redbrick Mitsubishi Ichigokan building built during the Meiji Era, that have been reproduced on the lower floors of the buildings to create a beautiful urban streetscape.
