The Gotenba line in the south-west portion of the map was double-tracked in the late 1800s and early 1900s when it was part of the main Tokaido line, but was converted to single track during the war.
In the first quarter of the twentieth century (1900-24), the major double-line conversions were the Tohoku and Joban long-distance main lines to the north and northeast, and parts of the Chuo main line to the west, Sobu main line to the east, and Tobu private line to the north.
For example, the number of rail lines and line segments converted to double track could be calculated and plotted by year, decade, or quarter-century, to better interpret the quantitative nature of changes.

The total height, 62 metres, is the same as the Edo Castle which once stood at the centre of the Imperial Palace grounds.
To achieve this height, the architect elevated the main space into what would have traditionally been the roof, demoting the middle section to a supporting role, a void.
The facades of the longer sides mirror the main stucture and are a clumsy reference to a traditional Japanese roof.

It is the oldest underground railway line in Asia: the portion between Ueno and Asakusa was completed by the Tokyo Underground Railway on December 30, 1927.
Being the oldest line, the Ginza Line is also the closest line to the surface, generally no more than one and a half stories underground.
This, combined with the relatively small size of stations and platforms, makes the line unpopular among commuters, although a necessary evil for many.
