This
is
a
famous
spot
where
you
can
see
the
Hokuriku
Shinkansen,
Tohoku
Shinkansen,
Akita
Shinkansen,
Yamagata
Shinkansen,
Joetsu
Shinkansen,
etc.
in
addition
to
the
conventional
lines
such
as
the
Yamanote
Line,
Keihin
Tohoku
Line,
Joban
Line,
and
Keisei
Line.
I
sometimes
see
people
who
appear
to
be
railway
fans
or
railway
enthusiasts
with
large
cameras,
and
it
may
be
a
well-known
location
for
taking
pictures.
Especially
in
the
mornings
on
weekdays
and
on
holidays,
I
see
a
lot
of
small
children
of
nursery
school
and
kindergarten
age
watching
the
trains
with
their
eyes
glued
to
them,
which
is
so
cute
and
heart-warming.
There
are
also
things
like
stone
benches.
It's
not
a
place
with
a
lot
of
traffic,
but
it's
a
through-road
that
leads
to
Sendagi
and
Higashi-Nippori,
and
taxis
and
delivery
trucks
pass
through
it,
so
be
careful
if
you're
bringing
small
children
with
you.
It
is
recommended
not
only
for
train
enthusiasts,
but
also
for
terrain
enthusiasts
as
you
can
see
the
edge
of
the
Musashino
Plateau.
If
you're
feeling
hungry,
walk
towards
Yanaka
(from
the
bridge,
facing
the
station,
uphill
on
the
right).
There
are
restaurants,
bakeries,
Renoir,
and
7-Eleven
within
a
1-minute
walk,
and
Yanaka
Ginza
is
just
ahead,
and
Yanaka
Ginza
is
in
the
opposite
direction.
There
are
also
McDonald's,
Tenya,
coffee
shops,
Italian
restaurants,
ramen
shops,
Chinese
restaurants,
etc.
on
the
Higashi
Nippori
side
(on
the
left
when
facing
the
station,
down
the
slope).
Some
of
the
tower
apartments
include
Saizeria.
There
is
also
a
bakery
🥯🥐
outside
the
ticket
gate
of
Nippori
Station
(just
to
the
right
after
exiting
the
JR
north
exit
ticket
gate).
Restrooms
are
located
not
only
inside
the
ticket
gate,
but
also
on
the
left
after
exiting
the
north
exit
(at
the
end
of
the
bridge,
towards
Yanaka).
