The Ueno station train melody for the JR Yamanote Line.
Ueno Station (上野: 上 – upper, 野 – fields) was first built in 1883 making it one of the oldest train stations in Japan.
It’s known as “the Gateway to the North” because it was the starting point for 蒸気機関車 – steam trains chugging off to the snowier climes of northern Japan. Steam engines have given way to the 新幹線 – Shinkansen, and with the extension of all Shinkansens lines from Ueno to Tokyo, Ueno’s importance as “the Gateway to the north” has been somewhat diminished but the station remains an important hub for commuters and visitors.
