Five separate train lines, almost three thousand passengers per minute and trains arriving every second. How can the people behind the scenes of the world’s busiest station overcome a traffic load like this every day?
The teams in this Giant Hub need a minute-by-minute precision, a constant control, a military discipline but at the same time always still a smile on their faces for the 3,6 million customers every day.
At 4:30 in the morning: The 200 doors to the world’s busiest station start to rise and they won´t close for the next twenty- one hours. This signals the start of the morning rush hour and requires a logistics process that is perfectly in sync.
Nobody knows this kind of challenge as good as Hidehiko Moriyama, he is the station master of the biggest train company of the city. His team are the eyes and ears of the entire station. Cutting-edge technology allows them to keep an eye on everything from behind the scenes.
When the day is almost over for some, another team is just about to start its shift. At night, everything happens at the same time. The teams work against the clock. The window in which there are no passengers or trains on the tracks is a mere three hours long.
Repairs and work on the tracks must not disrupt the traffic flow under any circumstances. This would cause too much chaos. So, before the first guest arrives back in the morning, any sign of construction work disappears completely. It’s as if nothing had happened.

Legend has it that Satoshi Kuwana is still on his way to work.

One of my favourite things about Tokyo is how crazy clean everything is.
-
We were there on our holidays from rural Lincolnshire in the UK, two very lost and overwhelmed tourists in rush hour and a kind local stopped and asked if we needed help. instead of just pointing us in the right direction he took us to our platform ( which we may have found when the rush cleared ) and stood us in the correct place for the doors to open bowed and left with our sincere thanks, do not think it would happen in the UK

The staff almost look like they're in military uniforms. The Station Manager looks like an Admiral walking onto a ship's bridge. The Japanese operate their railways to the same degree of high precision and rigorous discipline as would be expected from the finest militaries in the world. What a fascinating concept...
-
I cannot believe it - I am watching a documentary about a RAILWAY STATION and I want to cry - such devotion to the job and desire to make life easier for us at the station. This deserves so much respect and thankfulness.

When I was in Japan I saw how big Shinjuku station was since I went down all 7 layers and I had no idea on forehand so it took waaay longer than I had anticipated. The staff always was super friendly even though the language barriers was real. Always so polite I really appreciate that
-
I love how they translate "Drinking party" as "After-work team-building events"....... 😂😂😂
-
I was in japan when I read local news "train company apologize for departing 20 seconds early than scheduled" I laughed sooo hard. thats way too japanese
-
New York City is in the Stone age compared to Tokyo
-
I admire the Japanese discipline. This virtue has contributed to the economic boom and material prosperity of their beautiful country. I love Japan.
-
The efficiency and precision of any Japanese organization are truly admirable.
-
"All roads lead to Rome." JR East: "All tracks leading to Shinjuku. Unless you're taking the Shinkansen, that is; please switch tracks to Tokyo."
-
Paying 300¥ for a ticket seems like nothing when you think of all the human resources and tecnology that goes into maintaining the whole station working and safe. And i just watched a documentary about it that required script, video, edit, voiceover, and more, all for free... Thank you so much!

Went through Shinjuku Station many times some 30+ years ago. Nice to see the improvements they've made. Very impressive.
-
Japanese discipline and work ethics are truly something else.
-
I've survived in Tokyo Station when the first time arrived in Japan, yet I got lost in Shinjuku station in my 4th visit to this station.
-
One of the highlights of my life was travelling in Japan with my sister. The train system is second to none. ❤️
-
i was really lost until a young Japanese girl came up to my platform to show me the way, this is best country for hospitality.
-
42:35 - In typical Japanese style the team boosts morale with a chant... 'BE NICE TO COLLEGUES AND AVOID DISASTERS! ' OK, motivated...
-
Almost most of the passengers wore modest clothes. Japan is extremely amazing with all of the uniqueness, beauty, magnificence, what an advanced and inspiring country in 21st ever! sending love from Indonesia.
