  • In this video, we follow the monorail route from Naha Airport to Shuri Station, which is currently the end of the line. A 4 station extension is being built now with an expected opening in 2019.

    Thank you, I enjoyed. A lot of changes since 1974/1975 when I was there with the United States Marine Corps.

      Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Very soon, the extension will open and they are talking about making the trains 3 cars long instead of 2!

    Nice video, the trains are always so overcrowded though.

      ohjajohh they are considering making all the trains 3 cars long instead of the current 2 cars. I hope that they do this to increase capacity.

      @@Luke_Starkenburg Yeah they should do that, but I think the stations platforms are not big enough for 1 added car, so it will become a costly operation.

      @@ohjajohh I think the stations are big enough for all doors to be open, although the train may extent past the station a little. www.railwaygazette.com/projects-and-planning/okinawa-urban-monorail-extended/54751.article

    Nicely done. That's sure a different world than it was in the mid 60s when we were there. We lived in Shuri when we first arrived on the island, and lived on Naha Air Base the last couple of years. I believe the University of the Ryukus was on or around the Shuri Castle grounds when we were there.

      I was on the island Aug 74 to Sep 75, with USMC. I agree a lot of changes.
