Riding Yamanote Line (山手線) Train to Ikebukuro (Tokyo Metropolis), Japan | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
This is the second video about riding the Yamanote Line Train. You can tell how much I like riding this train. This time, I took the video of a ride to Ikebukuro. Yamanote line （山手線） is a loop line inside the Tokyo Metropolis. It connects the important wards and districts inside the Tokyo Metropolis. There are two types of Yamanote trains running on this line, one going clockwise and one going anticlockwise. This way, you can get to your destination faster by finding which direction is closer to where you are. Unlike the subway lines that belong to Tokyo Metro, Yamanote Line is part of JR East so, JR Pass is allowed on Yamanote Train. So, if you are a JR Pass holder, feel free to hop onto this train. Since this train goes in a loop around Tokyo Metropolis, it is a good way to see the entire Tokyo city using Yamanote line. Enjoy!!!

Thanks for the guidance. I will be concentrating on using the Yamanote, and the Chuo line (local only) for the duration of my visit to Tokyo. I get the impression that the urban train services are better to the Subway, but I could be very wrong on that.

The announcements are in Japanese and English...Phew!! Though I do expect to get lost!
