Introducing

The Chuo Line Rapid Service one of the major commuter lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area, connecting the Tama area, a bedroom community spreading in the western part of Tokyo, with Shinjuku, the world's largest terminal station, and the office areas of central Tokyo.
The line runs east to west in a straight line for more than 20 km through the center of Tokyo between Tachikawa Station and Nakano Station.

The line between Yotsuya and Ochanomizu Stations is characterized by the fact that the tracks are laid along the remains of the outer moat of Edo Castle, and passengers can enjoy the varied scenery of the outer moat of Edo Castle and the Kanda River.

The first half of the line is a commuter line running through a bedroom town, while the second half runs through the Akihabara Electric Town and the office district of central Tokyo.
