Spoiler alert - it took 3 days.

The Nippon Railway Company opened the train line that became present-day Yamanote Line on March 1, 1885. It ran between Shinagawa Station in the south and Akabane Station in the north. The top part of the loop between Ikebukuro and Tabata (a distance of 3.3 km) opened on 1 April 1903, and both lines were merged to become the Yamanote Line on 12 October 1909.

Station numbering was introduced on JR East stations in the Tokyo area from 20 August 2016. I don’t really like that system because I’d rather learn the train stations. It feels like they’re giving people training wheels.
The Yamanote Line stations use the prefix "JY". Tokyo station is JY01, so let’s start there and walk our way up.
