Toden Arakawa Line (only streetcar in Tokyo)
(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).
It passes through the bottom of the metropolitan streetcar Superexpress MAX
to run Akira government 通"RI".
Formerly, it was the metropolitan streetcar which was running freely in the Metropolitan area, but the wave of "MO-TARI-ZE-SIYON" could not be overcome, and until 1967-47, it left and it had abolished this Arakawa line. This Arakawa line, too, was the schedule of the abolition but the special orbit continued by that there was a strong request from the that there are not a lot of substitution means of transportation local community. Then, it was the one to have made one with the being of 2 systems among Akabane, the prince-Minowa and among the front of Arakawa garage, the prince-Waseda one, abolishing the interval of Akabane-the prince and the name, Arakawa line, was born at this time.
Minowa-bashi
The Minowa-bashi stop is the place which is made a dead end as buried at the shopping district. The atmosphere which can be called this nothing is the best. The business district at the downtown expands into the immediateness when getting off the metropolitan streetcar and small standing on hind legs train melts completely into the town. It was selected to the station hundred pieces in Kanto.
Between Odai-Miyanomae
It is only between the front of Ouji station-Asukayama and between Odai-Miyanomae that the metropolitan streetcar runs on the road. Between Odai-Miyanomae, it is the prospect that the road extension moves ahead and that the special orbit is complete soon at the center of the road. Because there is not a step in the entrance, the home must be provided for the body of the metropolitan streetcar but the wheelchair can ride easily because there is not difference in rank.
The fare of the metropolitan streetcar is 160 yen of adults. It rides before putting 160 yen in the fare box when riding and it becomes a prepayment. However, at the time of Rush in the morning, in to do driver alone, because it isn't possible to finish judging a lot of passengers, in front of Ouji station in the morning, it is doing the special ticket gate, putting the fare box which is in the car on the home.
Between the front of Ouji station-Asukayama
There is not probability which becomes a special orbit for this section to be put in Asukayama and Otonase river. It runs gently gently on the steep slope at 6 lanes as in Akira government while pushed by the car. When it rains, the wheel idles and has sometimes gotten not to rise up. In such a case, it rolls sand and it runs.
The Koshin mound
The day when 4 is on, it becomes the fair of Sugamo Togenuki jizo and the
nearest Koshin mound stop is crowed big. The stairs, too, can ride a senior
citizen, too, slenderly like the subway with the kind vehicle, not being
and the metropolitan streetcar can ride casually easily. It is because
that the streetcar of such a light rail is worldwide reconsidered is easy
for the earth the vehicle which is easy for the person.
The "ice" flag in the sweet gourmet spot which has a store in
front of the stop flutters by the wind and is waiting for the getting visitor.
Between the Koshin mound-Sugamo newly reclaimed rice field
There are a lot of such houses which the side of the track has a back door. This decision doesn't have a crossing gate and an alarm. Because the neighborhood is quiet, it knows that the sound becomes big gradually with ""KATANKOTON", "KATANKOTON", "KATANKOTON" ..." along the track when train comes and that train is approaching.
In front of Ootsuka station
Between the bottom of Gakushuin-Omokage-bashi
It is the metropolitan streetcar which is felt as the running only at the downtown but near Waseda, it is thing "KO"走"TUTEIKU", saying the inside at the building to stand close together. In sunshine 60, the metropolitan streetcar scuds to the back.
Waseda
The electric bell which becomes standing on hind legs
It derives from chime's becoming "standing on hind legs" tinckling with train when departing. Originally, " getting on and off ends to the driver and the conductor may depart from this bell. It is the bell which may not been in the present about which the conductor disappeared in the one to have been sounding a sign, ", pulling a string and it was made an autocrat and are not, but it installs an automatic electric bell into the car, it sounds even now, saying "the standing on hind legs" and it is running. It feels as the person in charge (is it a transportation authority in the city) when deciding that it will leave this bell about automating has humor and space to living.
This series is updated. It looks forward to the next time OBJ DO.
