前面展望　総武緩行線秋葉原→市川　＜cabview Japanrail：Sōbu slower Line Akihabara Sta. → Ichikawa Sta.＞

Cab view on the Sobu Local Line, 11.4km between Akihabara Station and Ichikawa Station.

This section of the track is laid out on flat land with several rivers flowing through it. This area was the first to develop after the mid-Edo period (approximately 1800 to 1860), when the Tokugawa shogunate was still in power, and the area along the Sumida River was the first to become prosperous in Edo. Due to the policies of the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan at this time had underdeveloped land transportation (to prevent armed revolution), and many goods were transported by small ships. Many waterways were built in the Sumida River basin, which supported people's lives.

As a result, there are still many small detached houses in this area, and recently built high-rise condominiums stand out.

The area around Akihabara Station used to be crowded with small shops selling electrical parts. Recently, young people who like animated comics are gathering here.

Asakusabashi Station is close to Kappabashi, a wholesale district that sells tableware and clothing.

Kokugikan, a gymnasium where sumo wrestling is held, is located near Ryogoku Station.

The area around Kinshicho Station was also developed as a downtown area at an early stage. From this station, the tracks of the Sobu Rapid Line, which runs underground from Tokyo Station, run parallel.

The train with the camera on it continues to Chiba Station, but this video stops at Ichikawa Station. The video from Ichikawa Station will be uploaded from next time onwards.
