A pond the Kaga Maeda family dug into their Edo-period garden, in a wooded hollow below the campus paths; Soseki set a scene here and the novel’s name stuck to the water.

The Kaneyasu cornerかねやす
The crossing outside the station is where Edo was said to stop — after the 1730 fire the magistrate drew his fire-proofing line here, and the corner still carries the tooth-powder seller’s name.

Not here yet

Which car to board still isn't here — it exists as posters on the platform and in no open dataset at all. Live service status covers the four Toei lines only, on their line pages: Tokyo Metro's feed is open data, but its terms don't allow passing it on the way this site delivers live information.
