Thus from north to south in its whole length,Japan is served by a railway line that forms a sort ofimmense skeleton for all the secondary lines runningin different directions to all the extreme points of thecountry. Thus there are transverse lines running from Tokyothrough Takasaki to Niigata and starting from Kyotothrough Komehara to Kanazawa and Fukui. Likewise. GATE LEADING TO THE PRECINXTS OF lEMITSU.
