A ride on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line from Ikebukuro Station to Nerima. This video was taken behind the front operator's cab allowing the viewer to experience what the driver sees.
Ikebukuro is a major rail hub in Tokyo with links to JR's Yamanote Line, Saikyo Line, Shonan-Shinjuku Line, and the Tobu Tojo Line. The Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line is a newly completed subway line which is also accessed here, as well as the Seibu Yurakucho Line subway, Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line subway, and the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line subway. It is an amazing underground labrynth with access to the Mitsukoshi, Seibu/Parco, and Tobu department stores as well as to the city at large which houses several other retailers and attractions like Bic Camera, Tokyu Hands, and the Sunshine 60 building.
Nerima Station features access to a small branch of the Seibu Ikebukuro Line which terminates at Toshimaen, a popular Tokyo amusement park. The Seibu Yurakucho Line subway, and the Toei Oedo Line subway are also a part of Nerima Eki. Many years ago the station was at ground level, but today it is a huge elevated complex with a large grocery store underneath the platforms. As a young teenager I used to enjoy riding my bicycle up to the grade crossings on either side of the old Nerima Eki, put the kickstand down and just watch all of the trains go by. I miss the old station, and the yellow trains.
Thank you! Excellent Quality!
