Overview

The Itsukaichi Line (JC) is the Ome Line's branch, splitting off southwest at Haijima and reaching Musashi-Itsukaichi in just 7 stations — one of the shortest lines in the game. It carries the orange identity colour of the Chuo system, and most services run through from Tachikawa or Tokyo.

Along the route

From Haijima it follows the Akigawa valley through Kumagawa, Higashi-Akiru and Akigawa into the city of Akiruno, then Musashi-Hikida and Musashi-Masuko before the terminus at Musashi-Itsukaichi — the trailhead for the Akigawa gorge, its waterfalls and campsites, packed every summer with people escaping the city.

Why play it

Seven stations, under a minute a run: the friendliest possible entry point and a quick way to test the feel of a new setting. The closing Musashi-itsukaichi is a nice little sprint finish.

Line data

Everything below is derived from the station data the game runs on, so it always matches what you actually type on the 五日市線 — all 7 stops of it.

How much typing is this?

Typing every station name on this line takes 77 keystrokes, an average of 11 per station. The longest name is 武蔵五日市 (musashi-itsukaichi) at 17 keystrokes; the shortest is 拝島 (haijima) at 7. Those counts come from running each name's kana through the game's own romaji engine, so they are what your fingers actually do — not the length of the printed spelling.

Along the way: 0 names contain a small っ, which doubles the next consonant; 0 contain a small ゃ, ゅ or ょ, where the engine accepts both the Hepburn and Kunrei spellings (sha or sya, shu or syu); and 0 end in ん, whose trailing n folds into whatever comes next rather than standing alone.
