stations
Tokyo’s Yamanote loop line is getting its first new station in nearly half a century, and Japan Railways wants you to give it a name.
In Japan, it’s all about finding an apartment that’s close to the station, and they don’t get any closer than this one outside downtown Tokyo.
Hundreds of steps below the surface, and if you miss your train, you could be waiting on the dank, dungeon-like platform alone for four hours.
Japanese train stations get the self-proclaimed “vigilante” heroes they neither need, nor want.
Shibuya may not be the cleanest neighborhood in Tokyo, but even for this part of town, this is shocking.
Come with us as we take you through some of the interesting things you can discover inside one of the country’s most historic stations and the busiest train station in the world.
The ever-growing series of traditional artworks is grabbing everyone’s attention for its beauty and humour.
Like Hogwart’s Express, a new Japanese train is now getting its very own mysterious in-between platform.
Peak-hour delays caused such overcrowding that some commuters were unable to enter stations in the nation’s capital.
