About this ebook
In 2025, the Yamanote Line 山手線 celebrates its centenary, harking back to 1925 when it finally became a continuous loop. Across those hundred years it has not only become an iconic feature of Tokyo - and an essential artery that keeps the city going - but it also had a fundamental affect on the very nature of the city. It is also a core part of railway history, the first section being built by British engineers in 1872.
Beautifully written and with copious photographs it will interest not just the rail enthusiast but the traveller and all lovers of Japan.
