Monorails in Japan - Definition and Overview

Here is an alphabetical list of monorails in Japan:

• Kitakyushu Monorail

• Kobe New Transit Co. (ICTS "Portliner" and "Rokkoliner")

• Okinawa Monorail

• Osaka Monorail

• Saitama New Urban Transport (ICTS "New Shuttle")

• Shonan Monorail

• Tama Toshi Monorail Line

• Tokyo Monorail

• Ueno Zoo Monorail (Ueno Park, 1999)

• Yokohama New Transit Co., Ltd. (ICTS "Kanazawa Seaside Line")
The Yurikamome (ICTS, Tokyo) is not strictly speaking a monorail, though it resembles one at first glance. (The rail in the center of the track serves only to guide the train, not support it, so it doesn't qualify as a monorail.)
