The Chuo Line skips this station (and Iidabashi and Suidobashi Stations), going from Yotsuya directly to Ochanomizu. There are maps <a href="http://www.jref.com/practical/transportation_tokyo.shtml" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The JR map is clickable to enlarge. Ichigaya also connects with 3 subway lines: Yurakucho, the Shinjuku Line, and Nanboku.Tall Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130518604439054014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149156843324358568.post-31150070918876893222011-09-06T23:46:42.486+09:002011-09-06T23:46:42.486+09:00oh golly, tell me about the flood,

But Kanda River doesn’t connect directly with this section of the Outer Moat anymore. This expanse of water is called just that: the Outer Moat. The Kanda River did supply water to the entire Outer Moat in the long-ago Edo Period, however... Like <a href="http://img.westatic.com/ic/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fja%2Fa%2Faf%2FEdo_hori.png" rel="nofollow">here</a> coming in from the top left.
