"Ginza, Yurakucho, Shinjuku, and Late-Night Nakano Back-Streets"

Opening with train views from the Tozai and Ginza subway lines.  Then a brief view inside the Okuno Building, walking by the former 6th-floor lounge (danwashitsu) of the building (now used as a conference room by one of the 6th-floor offices).

Then Yurakucho, train scenes on the way to Shinjuku, Shinjuku scenes, followed by more train scenes on the way to Nakano and then late-night Nakano scenes - taken on back streets.  Finally, wrapping up with a reflective look inside a Chuo Line train.

Waiting to board a Chuo Line train at Tokyo Station.  Sometimes - like in this video, they make everyone wait while they make sure there is no one left on the train.  This is done to stop people from Kanda etc. from backtracking and just staying on the train in order to keep/get a seat.
