This is KITTE,Chiyoda-Ku,Tokyo,Japan.
Here is located in front of Tokyo Station Marunouchi South Entrance.
Here is former Tokyo Central Post Office.
It had renovated and opened as department store in 2013.
Here can see modern design and historical design.
From side.
KITTE is directly linked to JP Tower.
B1 to 6th floor is KITTE.
The name “KITTE” comes from Japanese word “切手(means stamp)”.
KITTE is managed by Japan Post.
Opposite side of KITTE is starting point of HATO bus tour.
It is famous Tokyo sightseeing tour from over 50 years ago.
I like to visit traveler’s destination by myself. But to see many famous places in a day, HATO bus is good.
