About this cam
The south-side counterpart at Motoyawata: the JR Sōbu Line tracks run across the bottom of the frame, with the station roof and the streets of Ichikawa beyond.
The south-side camera at Motoyawata puts the JR Sōbu Line tracks in the immediate foreground, with the station canopy and the dense streets of Ichikawa filling the background.
It pairs with the north-side camera on the same channel, and gives the opposite view of the same stretch of line. The operator is the Chiba Prefecture Taxi Association, Keiyō Branch.
What to watch for
Commuter EMUs passing close to the lens, and the chance to follow the same train across two cameras. On air continuously since October 2025 — the longest-running of the pair.
