Eau d'autobus scolaire
On rainy days, the Inokashira train line smells exactly like a 1970s era school bus.

It’s probably not much different than the Chiyoda Line’s stench on rainy days like this, which is to say a wet-dog style amplification of the usual mix — old-man halitosis, “unscented” body soaps and the sweatiness of those who stay in the bathtub too long.

Oddly enough, late on rainy Friday nights it smells like a 1970s-era school bus that has been abandoned and lived in by alcoholic hobos.

I actually like the Inokashira.
It does reek of alcohol, but it goes to Shimokitazawa and to Kichijyouji.
To answer to the hobo scent… I think some people do pretty much live on the Inokashira…
