The Ginza Line has just undergone a major renovation.
Renovation work for each station on the Ginza Line between Asakusa and Kanda, known as the downtown area, was completed in 2018.
Station premises have been redesigned to match the atmosphere of each area, such as Ueno Station, which is based on the concept of a ``museum town,'' and Asakusa Station, which is based on the concept of a ``festival town.''
You can feel the atmosphere every time you visit each station, and it will be fun to go out.
