The 1914 brick façade has been a cultural property since 2003, and was under restoration until 2012.
The architects Tatsuno Kingo and Kasai Manji completed it in 1914, in red brick and with three domes. The 1945 bombings destroyed the third floor; for six decades the station remained two storeys high, until the 2007–2012 restoration gave it back its original appearance.
