The Yamanote Line plays an important role in the life of the average citizen in Tokyo.
In Tokyo "Yamanote" - as opposed to the lower lying "Shitamachi" - lies along the western side of the Yamanote Line loop.
One of the reasons for this is the existence of "Yamate" station on the Negishi line in Yokohama, very close to the Yamanote line.

 Akihabara Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The above-ground section of the station is cross-shaped, with the Sōbu Line's tracks running from east to west and the Yamanote and Keihin-Tōhoku Line's (and the Tōhoku Shinkansen's, which does not stop at Akihabara) from north to south.
The upper level platforms were added in 1932 with the opening of an extension to the Sobu Line from its old terminal at Ryogoku to Ochanomizu, making Akihabara into an important transfer station for passengers from the east of Tokyo and Chiba.
The Hibiya Line subway station was opened on May 31, 1962 with the line's extension from Naka-okachimachi to Ningyōchō.

 Inside the Yamanote Line - SkyscraperPage Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
OK, so Tokyo's humble Yamanote Line, whose pea-green, 11-car trains link 29 stations over a looping route of 34.5 km, may not have the glamour of Japan's world-famous shinkansen bullet trains, or the allure of the Romance Car as it heads off to the hills and hot springs in the shadow of Mount Fuji.
The Yamanote Line was born of various smaller train lines that date back to 1885.
Other lines along the Tokyo perimeter were gradually and haphazardly joined to the Shinagawa Line as it was converted from steam to electricity, before, in 1909, it was given its present name, after the hilly area of northern Tokyo.

Take a look at a map of the city's maze of many train lines (never mind labyrinthine subway routes) and a light green circle sticks out, a coherent shape amongst a sea of weaving lines, imagine that, a train that goes in a perfect circle around Tokyo's center.
Well, the idea is a circle but seen from above the actual line's shape is somewhat that of a misconstrued oval, two ovals actually, one going in a clockwise and counter clockwise direction, both are about 6 kilometers horizontal and 12 km vertical, lengthing out to form a 34.5 kilometer long track.
29 stations/stops are on the Yamanote Line and one can reach all of the metropolitan area's hotspots from this train, litteraly every stop represents another unique urban curiosity of the city.

If you think I've spent too much talking about this train line or that (and perhaps I have), it's because the trains are my method of moving around on a personal level and on a higher level it is the trains which largely determine a place's importance.
