DUE IN part to the astonishingly quick gentrification of my once-factory neighborhood, the Yurikakome train line has been extended to Toyosu. We now are the shuten (end of the line) for a scenic little train that runs around the bay, from my neighborhood, through the Daiba entertainment-convention complex, over Rainbow Bridge and finally on to Shiodome and Shinbashi. A fun ride and a great view. No train driver to be found, fully automated. I could take it to work, but it would increase my commute time by about 20 minutes. Also, my company won't pay for this line. Must stick with the boring old underground.
