Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. I'm a new correspondent, Hanes.
Everyone planning to take the Chuo-ku sightseeing test, is your study progressing smoothly?
As it gets cold, walking around the town becomes awkward,
In my case, on a warm day, I try to go to historic sites and unfamiliar areas in the city without hesitation.

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

As in the river and bridge edition, for those who are not from Tokyo and do not use public transportation much,
I think it's a type of problem that makes you feel bad.
But please rest assured!
If you keep the points, you will be able to laugh and take the test if you are not afraid of the route



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

①JR East Line Name and Station Name
There are only two JR lines that pass Chuo-ku, and only three JR stations!
JR Sobu Line: Bakurocho Station, Shin-Nihonbashi Station
JR Keiyo Line: Hatchobori Station

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

②Toei subway line and station name
There are only 3 subway lines that pass Chuo-ku!
These are 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

Toei Asakusa Line is on the station with "Higashi" in Chuo-ku.
By the way, when you go to Haneda Airport, it is also the Toei Asakusa Line.

I'm too good at route problems, so I challenged with no mark in last year's test,
I didn't know the answer to the wrong route problem, and it quickly became incorrect.
Therefore, this year we are taking route measures in the way we will introduce from now on.

①Attach a route map to a place you usually see (such as a refrigerator or toilet in the house)
②View a route map while commuting (because the transfer route information is often displayed)
③Memorize the announcement in the car (input “●● Line is changed”)
④One person is not a Yamanote Line game ●● Play a line game (effective for routes with a large number of stations!)
⑤Actually use the station (with or without a ride)
⑥Make a word card (the station name on the front and the line name on the back)



If you learn the route, don't think you're scared if you learn it, let's get over!
