    http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/index.html Introduction In the year 2000, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) replaced the Tokyo Metropolitan Pollution Prevention Ordinance with the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance, which covers countermeasures for vehicle pollution, chemical substances and climate change. The reason for the replacement was a shift in Tokyo’s environmental problems from industrial pollution mainly attributable to factories to urban and domestic pollution due to vehicle emissions and chemical substances, which may sometimes be related to climate change problems. In 2002, we started two programmes on which Tokyo’s present climate change strategy has been based: Tokyo Green Building Program for new buildings and Tokyo Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for existing large facilities. Since 2005, we have been promoting environmentally superior developments by introducing a mechanism to evaluate and disclose facilities’ efforts made in the programmes. In Tokyo’s Big Change - The 10-Year Plan developed in 2006, we set a goal of reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below 2000 levels by 2020 to make Tokyo a city with the least environmental impact in the world. Then in 2007, we announced the Tokyo Climate Change Strategy, which clarified our basic attitude toward tackling climate change for the next 10 years. Following a revision of the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance in 2008, we launched the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program for large facilities, the world’s first urban cap- and-trade scheme that covers office buildings as well, and the Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for small and medium facilities, committed to advancing our climate change strategy ever since then.

The luxurious exceptionally detailed, posh rooms and suites have been designed to exude harmony and serenity, and set a contemporary mood that simultaneously reflects Japan’s timeless artisanship. All guests are afforded spectacular, sweeping views from some of the largest guest rooms in Japan. East-facing rooms look out over the Sumida River, Tokyo Bay, Odaiba and TOKYO SKYTREE, the world’s highest free-standing broadcasting tower, while those facing west permit views of Ginza, Tokyo Station and the towering skyscrapers of Shinjuku. On clear days, the majestic, snow-capped Mount Fuji can be seen in the distance. DESIGN CONCEPT: Mandarin Oriental hotels are built on the cornerstone philosophy of ‘Sense of Place’, and created to reflect the very best of the city in which they are located. The extraordinary design of Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo brings to the historical and cultural district of Nihonbashi a sophisticated, opulent space that reflects the unique Japanese sense of the four seasons and love of nature. Inspired by the main themes of ‘Woods and Water,’ the hotel has been conceived as a single, large, living tree, with the guestrooms as branches. These themes are expressed using original materials and evocative motifs on everything from wall treatments, carpets, and fabrics, to screens and furniture.

    Improvement of Shimbashi Station on the Ginza Subway Line (the first subway in the East) Atsushi NUMATA1, Yasushi ARAI2 1Design Section Chief of the Renovation & Construction Department of Railway Headquarters, Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd, 3-19-6, Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] 2 Design Section Deputy Manager of the Renovation & Construction Department of Railway Headquarters, Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd, 3-19-6, Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Tokyo Metro railway network opened in December 1927 as the first subway in the east, with a 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno on what is now the Ginza Line(Figure 1).By the time the Fukutoshin Line opened in June 2008, the network had expanded to include nine lines over a 195.1 km span of open tracks. Shimbashi Station is located at about the middle of the Ginza Line. It is a transfer station for JR, Toei subway lines, and the AGT system (the Yurikamome). Increases in the number of passengers in recent years have caused major obstructions to passenger flow. In addition, the structure of Shimbashi Station is integrated with the piers of the JR Bridge, and is adjacent to the piers of the Tokaido Shinkansen Bridge. Based on passenger flow simulations under the configurations of the existing station, this plan proposed sweeping changes to the layout of the station to alleviate congestion on the platforms and facilitate smooth transfers to other modes of transportation. INTRODUCTION The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line (“Ginza Line”) became the first subway in the eastern hemisphere when the 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno stations opened on December 30, 1927.

    International Journal of Advanced Research in Basic Engineering Sciences and Technology (IJARBEST) MEGA CITY METRO NETWORK DATA ANALYSIS USING HADOOP [1]Janarthanan.R [2]Raghu.G,[3]Nandhinisaraswathi.C, [4]Yamini.T, , [5]Supraja.R [1]Hod[2]Asst.Professor[3][4][5]UG Student, Department of Computer Science and Engineering T.J.S Engineering College [1] [email protected], [3]nandhucns96@ gmail.com, [4][email protected],, [5][email protected] Abstract—Transportation systems in mega-cities are often 1 INTRODUCTION affected by various kinds of events such as natural disasters, accidents, and public gatherings. Highly dense and PUBLIC transportation systems, such as railways and metros, in complicated networks in the transportation systems propagate mega-cities are always required to increase their resilience to confusion in the network because they offer various possible extreme situations caused by various events. For instance, Tokyo, transfer routes to passengers. Visualization is one of the most which is the biggest mega-city in Japan, will host the 2020 Summer important techniques for examining such cascades of unusual Olympics and Paralympics, which will cause large scale movements situations in the huge networks. This paper proposes visual of people over the wide area around Tokyo. Powerful inland integration of traffic analysis and social media analysis using earthquakes are also estimated to possibly occur in the Tokyo two forms of big data: smart card data on the Tokyo Metro and metropolitan area. Public transportation systems are now preparing social media data on Twitter. Our system provides multiple responses for these events. To increase the resilience of the systems, coordinated views to visually, intuitively, and simultaneously lessons must be learned from past events to understand how the explore changes in passengers’ behavior and abnormal systems are affected by changes in passengers’ behaviors.
