The clock of Japan Railway Ryogoku station

(English)

Before, Ryogoku station was the starting station to Chiba direction. Therefore, Ryogoku station prospered especially in Summer. But, since Tokyo station and Kinshicho station which was the next station of Ryogoku from Tokyo was directly connected in 1972 for limited express, Ryogoku station was just passed, and was outdated.

But this makes the good side. The present station was built in 1929. It is still here.

嘗て、両国駅は、総武線千葉方面の始発駅で、特に夏の時期などは、非常に混雑していた。しかし、1972年に、東京-錦糸町間の特急が開通してから、両国駅はパスされ、廃れていった。

しかし良い面もある。今の両国駅は1929年竣工、当時のまま、今もまだそこにある。
