    I think there used to be an abridged version of this route in Densha de Go Professional. It was rather good with a choice of driving the fast trains or the 2 car 701’s as noted above.

    Unfortunately the bottleneck seems to be only UW doing Japanese routes and their current Tadami Line stuck in development limbo, there doesn’t seem much hope of anything else being added to the list unless DTG either undertake the job themselves or find another third party to do it.
