3) I arrived at the Tokyo Station.
If the above 3 is also correct (besides 1 and 2), does this mean that the proper noun (in this case, "Tokyo Station") could come with "the"? Is it correct? |
Normally, we wouldn't use 'the' with these because they are the names of the stations. Number 2 would be the norm.
I arrived at
Tokyo Station.
For a special purpose, 'the' could be used.
So anyway, I got to the Tokyo station but the train was so crowded that I couldn't get off before the doors closed so I had to go to the next station, get off and go back to Tokyo.
