Tokyo - JR Tokyo Station

We paid our final two visits to JR Tokyo Station. Admittedly I took a lot of pictures here. Before we did the Ueno trip we had done our scotch shopping (brought some scotches home for family members) in a store in an underground mall connected to JR Tokyo Station.





We noticed these  passages beneath track level where some station workers and train cleaners were walking around. No idea how you get there, but it was interesting.


We took about an hour to go back to the hotel, pick up our bags, and come back to JR Tokyo Station to wait for our train to Narita International Airport. Being our last day we left ourselves a bit of extra time to get to the airport.
I think these are the deepest or second deepest platforms beneath JR Tokyo Station. There may be some deeper subway lines.
Long exposure down the tunnel.



I got to capture the process of them connecting two of the Narita Express (N'EX) trains. The ends of the trains have doors that open, a  tube connected, and then you can hear a clank as they put the walking path down. This allows for passage between the two train sets.
