Speaking of Tetsu roadside rest area in Chuo-ku, most people may think of the subway. The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Hibiya Line, Marunouchi Line, Hanzomon Line, Tozai Line, Yurakucho Line, Toei Shinjuku Line, Toei Asakusa Line, Toei Oedo Line, and many other routes run. The JR East line also runs, and there are several stations. Can you remember? Hatchobori, Bakurocho and Shin-Nihonbashi stations (by the way, Tokyo Station is located in Chiyoda-ku). The common thing between these three stations is that they are all "underground stations". In other words, there is no ground station for railways in Chuo-ku. In the past, there was a freight station on the ground in Tsukiji Market. In addition, there were many stops because the streetcar ran all the way and horizontally on the ground.
Chuo-ku has been in the middle of the city since the Edo period, and since the city area had already been formed before the railway ran, can it be interpreted that there was no space to build a passenger station on the ground later?
