Sources on Osaka and Sapporo subways?



Hey there! I remember your work on Japanese railways but I also want to ask: do you know of any academic sources I can refer to on the Osaka and Sapporo subways? Partly because I actually visited Japan recently and I got plenty of photos and kinda itching to expand a few articles. But beyond station information on the official sites, I can't exactly find sources on the history and construction. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.--ZKang123 (talk '''·''' contribs ↗) 01:37, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

:I'm sorry but I barely use academic sources. There tend to be a ton of information in physical books, and for recent stuff web newspapers usually cover them. For Subways, I've never actually tried them, as I have struggled with Nagoya Municipal Subway ↗ articles.
:Physical books on Osaka area railway and Hokkaido railway may help, and I recall Wikipedia having a system to buy editors books for them. AlphaBetaGamma <small> (Talk/report any mistakes here) </small> 01:48, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
