That’s pretty spectacular how they lowered the platform and replaced the tracks.
Tokyo’s subway system is pretty damn sublime.

Of course the overnight work was merely the culmination of years of planning and construction. They would have had to prop up the tracks and excavate the tunnel mouth underneath them, and I presume that the tracks were specially built so that they could be bent down and connected to the tracks laid inside the tunnel.
