March 2023 — Passengers move through the North Gate of JR Nippori Station, a key interchange for the Yamanote, Keihin-Tohoku, and Joban lines as well as the Nippori–Toneri Liner. Prominent yellow JR East signage directs travelers toward the West Exit for Yanaka and the East Exit for Ueno. The open, modern concourse design reflects Nippori’s role as both a commuter hub and gateway to nearby traditional neighborhoods.
