Next, I crossed over the Yamanote line at Ōtsuka Station (大塚駅).
The Tokyo Skytree is clearly visible in the distance (8km away).

The Yamanote-sen (山手線) is a loop line. Technically, it's still part of the regular Japan Railway network, but it's one of Tokyo's busiest metro lines.
For some reasons, it's written 山手 (yama-te = mountain hand) and not 山の手 (yama-no-te).
