Yamanote Green Tea

[Guest ___]

If I was in Japan, I'd buy this. But what I liked was the little quiz at the end of the article.

  1. Which 2 stations on the Yamanote-line do not connect with any other line?

  2. What do the numbers on the top left side of the front of the train mean?

  3. What station was formally known as Karasumori station? The only station on the line to be renamed

  4. Based on the 2007 figures, what are the top 4 busiest stations for passenger usage? Can you name them in order, busiest first?

  5. How many minutes does is the fastest time a train can take to complete one loop?

  6. If you lined up all the E231 trains that are used on the Yamanote line (in 2007 figures) from Tokyo station going clockwise (soto-mawari), which station would they stretch to?

  7. Which is the oldest station on the Yamanote line?

Love it, I will buy one in Tokyo.

Very clever marketing by Yamanote Green Tea. It would be interesting to know if the sales of their tea went up with the new packaging.

There is a Keihin-Tohoku Line version too (which I like better, E233>E231)

 

 

I can answer #2- it's the train number, and the "G" designates Yamanote line trains. Since this particular train number is even numbered, that would make it a "sotomawari" train.  An odd numbered train would be "uchimawari" (probably more than you wanted to know...)
