A Walking Trip Around Yamanote Line - ”Happiness Theory“ in the Center of Tokyo

The Yamanote Line is the most famous loop line in Japan. It is a short train ride, but the city has a completely different look at each station. Recently, more and more people are walking or biking along the line in order to experience it. This time, the program staff also spent three days walking the 35-kilometer route around the city. How is the image of the town as “Shibuya for young people” and “Shinjuku for adults” changing? And what do people look forward to in their daily lives? The real Tokyo of today was recorded while walking along the railroad tracks.
