Misaki, a twenty-nine year old woman, is planning to get married soon.
One day, she finds an old pocket watch which belonged to her late father. Unfortunately, it was broken and did not move.
Misaki finds out that this watch originally belonged to her grandfather. It was her grandfather who gave it to her father. They both worked at the Tokyo Station.
Misaki's father was always strict and severe, especially to her. That was the only memory she would remember about him. She regrets how they could not connect with each other because she could not communicate with him very well when she was in her teens.
Misaki visits the Tokyo station, hoping to repair this memorable watch. However, the repair shop was already gone.
She drops her shoulders and walks on the platform of the station. Suddenly, she finds a station employee who looks just like her father.
She runs and follows this person without even thinking...

Where it came from
Passage of Time: Tokyo Station was produced in 2014 by A-1 Pictures as a promotional short commissioned by East Japan Railway Company. The project was conceived to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Tokyo Station, aiming to capture the architectural grandeur of the iconic Marunouchi building while reflecting on the human stories that have unfolded within its walls over a century of rapid societal change.
The short is noted for its evocative visual narrative, which eschews heavy dialogue in favor of a serene, observational style that emphasizes the passage of seasons and the shifting fashions of commuters. By focusing on the interplay between the station's steadfast structure and the fleeting nature of the lives passing through it, the studio created a meditative piece that was well-received for its artistic direction and its ability to romanticize the daily transit experience.
