Tokyo Streetcar from 1962

Location: Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Tokyo Timestamp: 15:58 on October 25, 2023

Pentax K-1 II + DFA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 53 mm ISO 400 for 1/125 sec. at ƒ/7.1

The 7500 series streetcar was once a vital part of Tokyo’s tram lines, traversing three routes connecting Shibuya, Shinbashi, Hamacho-Nakanohashi, and Suda-cho Stations. Placed in the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, this restored streetcar is a captivating piece of Tokyo's past for all generations to enjoy.

In my most recent blog post (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20231025-streetcar), I explore the history of the 7500 Series streetcar, a quick look at streetcar usage during the Showa Era in Tokyo, and reminisce about old trains from the early 1980s. I also provide links to Google Maps and to source materials (7-minute read).
