The Last Shared Track Section of Streetcar in Tokyo

Old streetcar network in Tokyo was terminated except Toei Arakawa line and Tokyu Setagaya line. The reason why the two lines survived is exclusive track. Setagaya line runs on exclusive track for the entire line. Arakawa line also runs on exclusive track for the most part, but it has a very short shared track.

 

This picture shows the shared track section of Arakawa line. It runs with cars on Meiji-dori for a few hundred meters near JR Oji station.
