Takanawa Chikkai - This is an embankment built in 1872 to lay Japan's first railroad line between Shimbashi and Yokohama, and is a very important historical site in the history of modern Japanese railroads. However, this historical value has long been forgotten or overlooked. Now, however, its value is being reevaluated and plans are underway to preserve and utilize it.
