In 2015, construction of new Harbin railway station began, using the design of the original Art Nouveau style in the 1903-built old station.

Itō had been Japan's Resident-General in Korea until a few months before his assassination. A memorial hall honoring An Jung-geun was opened on Sunday, 19 January 2014 in Harbin. The hall, a 200-square meter room, features photos and memorabilia.[4]
