[Introduction to the Contents]
The history of the Tokyu Railway Ikegami Line can be revived with pictures, picture postcard and old maps that were first published in Japan?
A valuable photo collection that gives you a sense of the scenery along the Ikegami Line and the remnants of the past time?
I don't know if the term "local line in the city" is appropriate, but the Tokyu Ikegami Line that connects Gotanda station and Kamata station has a unique look that doesn't look like a private railway company. If you go through the history, this line was used to transport visitors to Ikegami Honmon-ji Temple, and there were no big cities along the line at the beginning. However, during the Showa period, as Tokyo City expanded from 15 wards to 35 wards, the development along the line progressed, and residential and commercial areas spread around each station. Especially, Kamata and Gotanda, where the stations of origin and destination were located, both grew as unique cities in Tokyo.
Even so, Ikegami Line, which still runs with three cars, has a local feel. The lyrics of "Ikegami Line" by Mieko Nishijima, which has now become a nostalgia, come to mind in front of the station. In this book, we look back at the streets, buildings and famous places along the line as well as the cars running on such nostalgic lines.
