This photograph is taken at Oji Station in Toden Arakawa Line. This station is a station of the halfway point of 30 stop places which are the routes which run 12.2 km of Minowa from Waseda. Structure of a station is also very simple. The Arakawa line is a Tokyo tram route which is uniquely existing in a metropolitan area. Although the Tokyo tram had a 210km route network of 41 routes in the golden age, it was gradually abolished by promotion of the traffic congestion dissolution policy of the 1960s, and the deficit public-works arrangement policy. In it, 32 lines (before the Arakawa garage-Waseda) were unified with 27 (Minowa-Akabane), and the present Arakawa line was able to be done. It is because the on-time was judged to be difficult in operation substitution according to a bus line since traffic congestion was constant to Meiji street which is mostly parallel with this route as a left-behind background. This route has about 50,000 passengers per day now. Since there are variety exterior and interior in the present tram, it is pleasant.
When I am also child, the memory which was taken to parents and went shopping by the tram remains faintly.
