"Rain to Snow - Nakano & Hibarigaoka - Chuo & Seibu Lines - 1991"

Starting on the Chuo Line platform in Shinjuku, taking a Chuo Line train to Nakano, walking around on some of Nakano's main & back streets, and then views of snowy Nakano streets. Walking through the snow to Nakano Station, taking a Chuo Line train to Shinjuku, and then jumping forward to a snowy Seibu-Ikebukuro Line train that I take to Hibarigaoka. The video finishes with views of the narrow streets of Hibarigaoka.

Of some historical worth, note the sounds on the Chuo Line train between Nakano and Shinjuku. The old Chuo Line trains produced quite different sounds from the newer type. Last week I saw on older type still being used, but they are very rare now and will soon be completely off the Chuo Line rails (whether they're being scrapped or sent to some other line I don't know). Recorded on December 27th, 1991.

Well, on streets like at the end, the cars are only going at about a walking speed, so it's probably not too dangerous! But yeah, when I drove here, it felt very strange driving on streets like that with people all around the car. You just have to creep forward very slowly.... - LHS

Driving on a snowy narrow street full of people looks kinda dangerous. O.O
