"Tachikawa Morning Rush, Chuo Line, Yamanote Line, Ginza, Yurakucho, Etc."

Starting off with a view of the morning rush at Tachikawa Station, and then riding trains (Chuo Line, Yamanote Line, and Keihin-Tohoku Line), as well as walking around in Ginza and Yurakucho.  July - it's summer now for sure.  In June there were both hot and fairly cool days, but now it's definitely hot - 32C as I write this.

Exiting Tachikawa Station during the morning rush.  This sort of last-second collision-avoidance walking is typical when it's crowded.

Looking out the left side of a Chuo Line train while rolling from Kanda Station to Tokyo Station.  (New construction over the Shinkansen Line tracks can be clearly seen.)

I look around on a platform at Tokyo Station while waiting for the Yamanote Line, and then watch the Yamanote Line train come in, whereupon I board it and watch the world roll away through the rear cab window while riding to Yurakucho Station.  After getting off in Yurakucho, I walk down the platform as the train continues on its way.

"Escaping the Heat in Yurakucho (Tachiyomi)" (100721We-1829)

Diving into an air-conditioned space to escape the July heat for a couple of minutes - I walk through a bookstore and notice a lot of people doing the "tachiyomi" routine (standing in a bookstore reading things without necessarily buying them).

"Racing the Yamanote Line to Tokyo Station" (100721We-2257)

The Keihin-Tohoku Line train I got on left Yurakucho Station at the same time as a Yamanote Line train going in the same direction, so the two trains ran side-by-side from Yurakucho Station to Tokyo Station.
