Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Everyone planning to take the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, is your study progressing smoothly?
When it gets cold, it's hard to walk around the town.
In my case, on a warm day, I don't hesitate to visit historical sites and unfamiliar areas in the city.

By the way, the other day, we sent a river / bridge, Haiku / Kawayanagi, song / catchphrase as a measure for sightseeing certification in Chuo-ku.
From this time, I will introduce the route edition in two parts!

As with the river and bridge edition, for those who are not from Tokyo and do not use public transportation very much, this is the case.
I think it's a type of problem that makes you feel weak.
But don't worry!
If you hold the points, if you are not afraid of the route, you will be able to laugh and enter the test.



There are four points to keep in mind.
①JR East Line name and station name
②Toei Subway Line and Station Name
③Route name and station name of Tokyo Metro
④Year of opening
The route section (1) explains 1 and 2, and the route section (2) explains 3 and 4.

①JR East Line name and station name
There are only 2 JR lines that pass Chuo-ku, and only 3 JR stations!
JR Sobu Line: Bakurocho Station, Shin-Nihonbashi Station
JR Keiyo Line: Hatchobori Station

How about it?
If you divide this way, don't you feel like you can learn the route?

②Toei Subway Line and Station Name
There are only three Toei Subway lines that pass through Chuo-ku!
That is the Toei Shinjuku Line, Toei Oedo Line, Toei Asakusa Line
The number of stations on each line is 2, 3, and 5 in order.
Toei Shinjuku Line: Hamacho Station, Bakuro-Yokoyama Station
Toei Oedo Line: Tsukishima Station, Kachidoki Station, Tsukiji Market Station
Toei Asakusa Line: Higashi Nihonbashi Station, Ningyocho Station, Nihombashi Station, Takaracho Station, Higashi-Ginza Station

The Toei Asakusa Line runs to the station with Higashi in Chuo-ku.
By the way, the Toei Asakusa Line is also used when going to Haneda Airport.

I'm too good at route problems, so I challenged with no mark in last year's certification.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the answer to the route problem that was questioned, and I was inadvertently wrong.
For this reason, this year we are taking measures for routes using the methods introduced in the future.

①Paste the route map in places you usually see (refrigerator, washroom, etc.)
②Look at the route map during commuting (because the transfer route information is often displayed)
③Memorize the announcement in the car (input "● Line changes to the line")
④One person who is not a Yamanote Line game ●● Play a line game (effective for routes with a large number of stations!)
⑤Actually use the station (regardless of whether or not you have a ride)
⑥Make a word card (station name on the front, line name on the back)



If you keep the tips on the route and remember it, think it's not scary, so let's survive!
