[Limited bonus: Poster included] Complete version / Toden system guide

Tokyo's streetcar system, the Toden, was once touted as the largest in the Orient. Fortunately, only one Arakawa line remains, giving a glimpse of the past, but in its heyday, the system had a total of 41 lines, and the sound of overhead trams echoed throughout every corner of the city.

By the way, even today, the concept of a "line" is familiar as a bus route, but it is true that it can be difficult for people who are not familiar with the area to understand. For example, Toden Line 1 connected the area between Shinagawa Station and Ueno Station, but now that the actual line no longer exists, it is surprisingly difficult to understand which route it took along the way, which lines it branched off from, ran parallel to, or crossed with. Even if you were to stand in the area where the tracks once were laid, the streetscape would have changed so much that it would be difficult to identify them.

Therefore, in this book, all 41 routes are equally introduced, with two pages each, a route map with all the stops, clear photos that convey their characteristics, and concise explanatory text. A major point is that, by unearthing new materials, even the distances between stops that were previously unknown or incorrectly reported have been perfectly recorded. This book truly lives up to its name as the "complete edition."

Furthermore, the 6000 series, a representative type of Toden tram that had a major influence on the style of streetcars in other cities, will be thoroughly explained, from its origins, variations, to its demise. You will be able to get an overview of the Toden trams of the past, both in terms of the "system" and "representative model."
