-- Celebrating 110 years! What's at each station?

- December 20, 2024 marks the 110th anniversary of the opening of the Keihin-Tohoku Line.
- What kind of line is the Keihin-Tohoku Line, which has such a long history?
- What kind of towns are there along the line?

- There are probably few people living in the Tokyo metropolitan area who have never ridden the Keihin-Tohoku Line.
- At that time, how much will you be aware of what kind of line the Keihin-Tohoku Line is?
- Without giving it much thought, I get on thinking it's just a commuter train, and a few minutes later I arrive at my destination and get off.
- Regarding the Keihin-Tohoku Line, I think it would be good to pay a little more attention to its history.
- After all, it has supported commuter transportation in the metropolitan area for 110 years.
- Live in the suburbs and commute to work in the city by train.
- The conventional wisdom is that this lifestyle was established by private suburban railway lines that sprang up from the Taisho era through the early Showa era.
- However, if we go back even further, the first step could have been the Keihin-Tohoku Line, which connected the suburbs with the city center through fast, easy-to-ride train service.
- Some people may feel the urge to complain about the terrible congestion, the schedule being disrupted, and so on.
- However, the Keihin-Tohoku Line has supported Tokyo and the greater Tokyo area itself.
- Over its 110-year history, it has created and developed many towns.
- Let's start our journey on the Keihin-Tohoku Line and Negishi Line.
