Points of Interest This station has seen a lot of change. The JR and Keisei stations are parallel. Several JR lines converge here. At the north end of the station at the road overpass there is a great view of all the train traffic with the Takasaki and Joban lines coming in, the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku running parallel. Between this is the Tohoku Shinkansen ducking into a subway. The Keisei line is here as well. The Keisei line is now double-decked here.
