TOKYO -- The Japanese capital's Yamanote commuter train line is set to open its first new station in almost 50 years on March 14, with added convenience already boosting land prices and school applicants in the area.
Takanawa Gateway Station -- between Tamachi and Shinagawa stations -- is expected to serve about 130,000 passengers daily on Tokyo's busy line, which connects such major hubs as Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro in a loop.
