Kita-Senju Station is located in the Adachi special ward of Tokyo, a former postal town from the Edo period. The station originally opened in 1896.

Takadanobaba Station is located in Tokyo’s Shinjuku special ward, between two commercial districts – Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. The station first opened its doors in 1910.
Takadanobaba literally means “Takada’s horse grounds”. The area is named for a baba, or horseback riding and racing grounds which used to occupy the area, and the Takata, the family who built it in the 1600s.
Asakusa Station sits on the banks of the Sumida River in Tokyo’s Taito special ward. Built in 1927, it’s a tall, imposing building with a clock tower.
It really looks as though it has been transplanted from historic Paris or London, and is spectacularly illuminated at night. It also serves as a gateway to some of the city’s most cherished cultural landmarks.
Tokyo, a city of dazzling modernity intertwined with traces of tradition, never ceases to surprise its visitors. The newest attraction that captures this essence is the Sky Observatory, located atop the Shibuya Scramble Square Tower.
