(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).


There was habitude which opens the side of the escalator beforehand for the hurrying person in London but in Tokyo, it got to penetrate completely for these several years.
In case of Tokyo, it opens out beforehand for the person who comes to the left side and hurries about the right. but for it to be good exactly but well-balanced when the rate of "the hurrying person" and "the person who doesn't hurry" is 1:1 , The line forms in the left side in a row and in to be many on the weekend in the daytime and so on, that the rate of the person who doesn't hurry is more overwhelming, the scenery such as being empty is noticeable well in the right. In case of the up train, the worrying that the difference in rank of the escalator will climb, finishing running quite big isn't anyway readily familiarized with the getting-off. It is habitude for the office worker who doesn't regret time and physical strength. Way, in Osaka, this habitude is brought in from the early days, but it comes to the right different from Tokyo and it vacates the left side. Because it becomes the same as Tokyo in Kyoto, only Osaka becomes opposite.


In Tokyo, it comes to the left and it vacates the right.


On the other hand, in Osaka, it comes to the right and it vacates the left (In Midosuji Line Shinsaibashi station).



This series is updated. It looks forward to the next time OBJ DO.
