Saitama-Shintoshin Station, Saitama Live Cam

The tracks beside Saitama-Shintoshin station run below this view, north of Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. A commuter train passes below the lens, with office towers and the arena standing behind the line.

Several routes share this corridor — the Keihin-Tohoku, Shonan-Shinjuku, Takasaki and Utsunomiya lines, plus freight — so trains pass every minute or two through the day. The district around the station was built from the 1990s on former railway land as a second centre for the metropolitan area.

The stream is in 4K, which is enough to read the line colours on passing sets. Event days at the arena next door fill the platforms in view.
