Japan to convert car park near Tokyo Station into missile shelter

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced plans to transform an underground car park near Tokyo Station into a missile shelter to protect residents and tourists during a potential ballistic missile attack. The project involves conducting surveys in the current fiscal year and upgrading the facility with blast-proof doors and emergency supply storage. The site, approximately 13,000 square meters in size, would serve as the city's second underground shelter, joining a similar facility being converted at Azabu-Juban subway station. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike highlighted the location's strategic importance due to its proximity to Tokyo Station, which she called 'the gateway to the capital.'
