Nice. I remember Seoul government created a guidebook years ago featuring different lines of metro and stations along with their features. Hope will see one from Tokyo gov’t one day with you pioneering it already. Oimachi is another interesting line in my opinion.

Thank you for your comment, Igor. It would be welcome if the local government could prepare a route guide that would be useful to users, but it isn't easy to find one that is user-friendly and convenient. Until that happens, I would be happy if my work could help.

As for Oimachi, the area from Oimachi to Kamata is where you can enjoy the good old Tokyo that is being lost. Last night, I was in Oimachi having a drink with some friends. It is close to the city's center and has many wallet-friendly restaurants.
