This one’s a treat for anyone who loves organized chaos—Ochanomizu Station in Chiyoda is one of the coolest train photography spots in Tokyo. From the bridge nearby, you get this perfect overlook where multiple train lines intersect above a quiet canal, creating this beautiful mess of color, motion, and geometry.
It takes a bit of patience to catch all the trains at once—especially the red Marunouchi Line paired with the yellow Chūō Line—but when they align, it’s magic. You’ll be surprised how quickly the scene changes and how different it looks depending on the time of day.
Best Time to Photograph:
Late afternoon or golden hour—when the light catches the trains and the buildings just right. Weekdays are best for train activity, especially around rush hour.
