Tabata Station

Tabata Station sits on a sharp geological ridge that divides the high ground of the Yamanote district to the west from the low basin of the Shitamachi area to the east. The land falls away abruptly from the station, forcing the railway tracks into a deep, man-made trench that slices through the hillside. This distinct topographical fault defines the station’s immediate environment, separating the residential streets perched on the cliffs from the network of tracks running below.
