Nagoya Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nagoya Station (名古屋駅, Nagoya-eki^?) is a train station in Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is the world's largest train station by floor area (446,000 m², 4,800,000 ft²)^{[citation needed]}, and houses the headquarters of the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). Much of this space is located in the "JR Central Towers" atop the station, as well as in underground concourses. The current station complex was completed on December 20, 1999. An average of 1,140,000 people used it per day in 2005, making it the 6th busiest station in Japan.^{[citation needed]}

The station is adjacent to Meitetsu Nagoya Station, the terminal of the Nagoya Railroad, and Kintetsu Nagoya Station, the terminal of the Kintetsu Nagoya Line.

Nagoya Station is 245 m (803.8 ft) tall.^{[citation needed]} Each tower rises over 50 stories. There is the 59 story tall Hotel Tower and the 55 story tall office tower (with a heli-pad on top).^{[citation needed]}
