Architecture near Tokyo Station.

I found this near Tokyo Station. I was trying to find the right entrance. I arrived at night, and was helped to a taxi rank. My arrival had been one big blur. Tokyo Station is huge, and I arrived on a platform in the bowels of the Earth. I must have looked lost. I remember seeing another person, who looked equally lost. We were both helped to a taxi rank, guided by a kind Swiss man, at great pace through masses of people, all in a hurry to get somewhere. He must have been used to finding lost looking Westerners.

So at the end of my stay in Japan I did not have the help of this Swiss man, so was not sure where to go. I also needed to waste some time. For once I was running early.
