"Tokyo Artery Flow-in" is an Android application that you can experience this Tokyo artery with a smartphone. It is released free of charge by Mr. Kuriyama who is the creator of the Tokyo artery. Open the application page from Google Play and click "Install".


When you install the installed application it looks like this. 9 lines of Tokyo Metro are drawn simply with each line color. Swipe the part called "train selection" at the bottom, you can select the line of interest.


For example, the following imageMarunouchi LineI selected it. You can choose two directions, Ogikubo / Honnancho area and Ikebukuro direction. This time I will choose Ikebukuro direction. Do not leave your swiped finger as it is, move it to the part written as "Ikebukuro direction".


Then, the selected route is zoomed in and the information of the vehicle traveling on that route is displayed in real time. By moving your finger left or right as it is, you can select vehicles of interest.


This timeParliament House Dojo stationJust stop "[B1713] For Ikebukuro each stop to Ikebukuro" to select. When you release your finger, the button "Flow-in on this train" appears, so tap this.


The camera gets close to the route map ......


The vehicles parked at the front of the National Assembly building are displayed. The cylinder running in the tube represents the vehicle and you can see how the cylinder runs also in the colorful tubes around the perimeter. The color of the tube represents the line color, and the Marunouchi line is the red tube. A white thread on the tube is a wire that supports the tube in the actual Tokyo artery, and it also shows the location of the station.


Swipe as it is, it is possible to change the direction of the viewpoint. As a testAkasaka Mitsuke StationLooking back at the direction,Yotsuya Sanchome Station~Yotsuya Station~ Akasaka Mitsuke station I understand well that the route is swaying up and down. Also, the Ogikubo / Donancho area and Ikebukuro area are not always next to each other, for example, it is divided up and down in front of the parliamentary Dojo station. This is because the Marunouchi line's home is divided into upper and lower floors at the Akasaka Mitsuke station one before.


Actually in Tokyo Artery Flow-in from Parliament House StationKasumigaseki StationYou can see how to proceed to the following movie. If you move the camera while driving,Ginza lineYaChiyoda LineIt also reflects the way that multiple routes are complicated and confusing.

Although only the wall of the dark tunnel appears in the train window of the actual subway, by using the "Tokyo artery Flow-in" while riding the Tokyo Metro, "There is another line running just above this "" As soon as climbing the slope you are running you will be a station soon ", you can expect to enjoy it with a different line of sight. Also, since we are using the actual diagram, it was a fun point to get a feeling that we truly managed to manage subway vehicles at the driving direction office.
