The box look is out! Rounded corners give the new Okinawa Hitachi trains a modern look.


Monorail builders had very narrow corridors to deal with in Naha. Here's a station nearing completion.


Besides running down city streets, waterways are paralleled as well.


Looking towards the Naha Airport, where the system terminates. Some of the best ocean views from a monorail will be on the Naha system when it opens in 2003.


As we approach the airport, the Naha Monorail OSMF is visible (Operations Storage & Maintenance Facility).
