Tokyo Metropolitan Electric Railway Arakawa Line Transportation Guide | Take a Retro Train to Explore Nostalgic Tokyo

#TokyoTrafficStrategy If you have already visited all the popular attractions in Tokyo and want to change your pace and experience the city's style, you can't miss the Toden Arakawa Line! As the only existing streetcar in Tokyo, it is 12.2 kilometers long, connecting Waseda Station and Minowabashi Station, and its 30 small stations are full of old times. Especially in May every year, 13,000 roses of more than 140 varieties are in full bloom along the line, and some carriages will be transformed into the "Toden Bara" rose-themed train, the romantic index is off the charts! Transportation Guide: We strongly recommend purchasing an electronic one-day pass (only 400 yen), which can be easily purchased through transportation apps such as Suica and PASMO. With a one-day ticket, you can get on and off the bus as many times as you want throughout the day. You can get off and check in at any time when you see a scenery that catches your eye. You can also redeem exclusive discounts at restaurants and shops along the route! Selected check-in stations: Start your exploration from the "Arakawa Shako-mae" station. The nearby "Toden Memory Square" houses a collection of retro tram exhibits. There is a quiet small park right outside the "Arakawa Yuenchi-mae" station. You can also visit Tokyo's only district-run Arakawa Yuenchi, which is full of the atmosphere of the Showa era. The terminal station "Minowabashi" has the most nostalgic feel. Combined with the surrounding old shopping streets, every shot is a retro blockbuster. Take this slow-paced train and you don’t have to look for big scenes. Just savor the flowers and old shops on the street corners that are carefully cared for by the residents along the way. They are the most moving scenery in Tokyo!
