Chikatetsu No Eki Ha Monosugoi (Heibonsha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] Urban subways are becoming deeper and more complex every year. This book dissects the amazing technologies that have made the impossible possible, such as the method of freezing rivers and burying huge tunnels from the surface, and the construction of deep subway systems using shield tunnels. It also introduces the layout and design of elevators to guide passengers, improvements in signage, and efforts by stations to reduce costs. The book looks at the structure and evolution of subway stations throughout Japan, with a focus on the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway lines!
