One is Shonan Monorail in Kanagawa, and the other is Chiba Urban Monorail.

"This is the train of the future I imagined when I was a child..." - same here. When I was a kid, the future seemed to be much more nicer, brighter, more interesting than what we today expect the future to be like.
Lets hope that we have more of these fancy trains in the future!
The thing is, life is just that. But also everything else. Since the beginning and most likely till the end, life is inherently subjective, with peace and chaos and everything in between.
haha, i thought it was cute when the lady at 4:18 or so, skipped as she watched the train go overhead
Absolutely stunning! I had to look up the one in Germany too. These monorails are amazing! They really do feel like what you'd imagine the future of mass transit to be like! I love all the cute liveries on them too. Thank you for sharing!
The really great thing about them is that you can make use of otherwise unused space, without digging expensive tunnels. The one in Wuppertal, Germany has its tracks mostly above a small river and city streets. I was there a few times, and it's a fantastic thing - riding them is like fyling in a tram.
Monorails will always be niche
@@christophdeelmann6970 I honestly hate people calling things "unused space," like humans have to work their way and put their things anywhere and everywhere, otherwise the space has no purpose and just, well, takes up space. It's like when people say that the world isn't overpopulated because there's so much "unoccupied space" out there. We don't own this planet and we don't have the right to take up every inch of space. Something doesn't need to have a purpose to us in order for it to exist.
This might not be applicable in the US. The NIMBY will have a field day complaining about how it ruin their view, and then there will be some stupid environmental report that will ultimately kill the project. Any large scale mass transit project in the US is a chore to get off the ground.
Thank you for the great shots up in the air to get the full impact of this awesome futuristic train!
Wonderful trains from a wonderful country! Arigato, Kuga-san! 🙂 🇯🇵 🇵🇭
I really enjoy your videos of Japan. Everything is so clean and technologically advanced. In the US it is quite the opposite and so very sad. I have hopes of coming to Japan when the Covid virus settles down ( if ever) because I’ve always had so much respect for Japanese culture. Thank you!
Now it's monkeypox and polio is increasing its endless!
You think that until you have to do paper work with a japanese government office
I can't get over how quiet these trains are!
So quiet inside! I think this one goes slower because for what i saw, compared with the last one, this one has more frequent altitude level ups and downs. It would be more aggressive at higher speed, i guess.
Thanks again for the ride in your videos! :)
Saludos
I loved seeing not only the various types of flying monorails, but also a glimpse of the parking lot full of bikes around 7:11, what an amazingly designed transportation system all around!
The engineering that goes into this monorail is AWESOME! ❤
Speechless 😶. I’m amazed of the Japan 🇯🇵 train 🚂 system. 😮
What a cool experience Kuga thanks they had one in Sydney for awhile but not anymore keep up the great travels
Cool, thank you so much for all your videos, especially the air tram videos. My mother (82 years old) and I watched with treat, were delighted. Thanks to your reviews, we seemed to have been to different parts of the world, where we will never be able to visit live, since there are no such means, opportunities, since there is no chance to get out of this terrible country, where we live. Thank you from all our hearts, my elderly mother and mine!!🤩🤩🤩😘😘💖💖💖🤍❤🤍
There was one more suspension monorail in Ueno Zoo. Although it runs only within the zoo property it is actually classified as "public transport"。Sadly it has ceased operation 3 years ago.
So cool being able to stand there and have a train go over you safely lol.
千葉県に4年間ぐらい住んでいるのに乗ったことありません。ウラヤマシイ〜。
These are so cool! I always imagined these (and elevated light rail trains) as a kid, too!
Hi Kuga. Great video as usual..You have made me fall in love with Japan. Just wondering if you could do a series of JR Rail Pass destinations for your International viewers that want to come to Japan..That would be amazing. It just seems confusing in videos i have watched from others about travelling the JR Pass..Once again thank you for your content, Your friend from Australia..Bryan
I agree, that would be great and very helpful. Visit japan next year for 4 weeks!
@@robkarzo9580 Fantastic....where abouts are you going?
Getting a bird's eye view whilst avoiding all the traffic problems below. Unusual markings on the carriages but I do like that little red motif one which I suspect is a special Japanese brand. Almost you can say that you fly. Great trip but I do prefer the other one you did. Thanks for sharing. Bushyboy Oz.
Monrails are frikin' cool! Wish there were more. Thanks Kuga!
3:57 it says 007, so I guess James Bond is the driver 😎
I love Japan From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇯🇵🥰🥰
Watching these 2 videos felt like i was on the ride with you, i hope you show more monorail videos cause that was cool.
The coolest train ever!
What a great way to see the city. :)
I was amused by the bicycle parking lot you passed at 7:10. :-)
I agree with your assessment of the differences in the ride between the two monorails. The first was like a slightly scary amusement park ride. This one was much smoother and calmer.
This is the exact train I have seen in Doreamon when they show the 23rd century😌😌
So futuristic. For intra city shuttle, this looks alot more pragmatic (and cost effective) than underground trains
Very impressive and gorgeous views! Thank you for your videos, Kuga-San!
I was tempted to replay this video upside down.
Really love the experience. How beautiful. Thank you! Appreciate this a lot!
When you speed up the footage and play music, it’s like watching someone playing Mariokart. 😁
That music playing just after the 6min mark sounded like something out of Everybody's Golf 😃
Part 1 Fun & LMAO Part 2 much more my speed! Both were great!! Love from the US 💙💙💙
Japan is a different world. 👍🏻
I used to hang around chiba sta before. Rarely use this monorail as transportation but it is used to be there in my sight with my good memories there in chiba. Kinda nostalgic.
Very nice! Yes it looked like a fun ride to the future.
Best to you Scott ❤🇯🇵
Cool looking train, it's noisier on the outside than I had imagined. Still, an awesome way to get around!
I watched your previous video and, yes, the train does look familiar! Thank you for creating all these outstanding videos! 💝
Riding one is definitely awesome, no need to watch out for trains either
Superb! At 2:18 that face on the building like tibetian face, eyes on buddhist church
I rode in one of these in 2018. Was going to a concert at Makuhari Messe.. was very cool.
wonderful trip report! arigato gozaimasu!
How long until someone builds a car with glass floor? 😬
That would be an extreme ride!! :)
Actually, they have windows on the floor. Please take a close look.
@@00ta Can you give me a time stamp where it is visible? Looking at the underside as at 2:50 onwards I can only see a light blue stripe.
Ah, at 3:14 there seems to be a window under the front end. (Also visble at 4:02) For the driver perhaps?
@@svennoren9047 Sure, it's around 4:03. There are two types of Chiba monorail trains: 1000 series and 0 series. The 0 series train has a nifty floor window in the driver's cab, through which we can enjoy the view beneath. They installed the windows only there, perhaps not to embarrass passengers in skirts.

更に言えば、この運転席にある窓は非常用脱出口になっています。
嘘ではありませんよ。ここからチューブ状の滑り台が出てくるんです。ハイヒールは脱いで、荷物は持たないで、はいどうぞ。
This is awesome! 😃
CYBERPUNK 2022
The nicest thing about Japan is still the fact that you can reach a lot with public transport.
Not everything, but quite a lot, and you usually get to see a lot that can't be done with a car.
I liked when it sped up. Doesn't look like it had frequent stops like the light rail here in my city.
I love this
I wish the world would use this type of monorail. This dose eliminates most of the limitations that beam riding monorails have.
Thanks!
Wow, thanks Indra Buana!🤝
50年ぐらい前に乗ったので懐かしい
Just wow, looks amazing!
These are actually like the Düsseldorf airport and Dortmund university monorails which use the same SAFEGE box-type guideway. There's an enclosed bogey with rubber tires to provide good traction.
The Wuppertaler system uses its own system more like a standard steel wheel and rail (albeit with side flanges to keep the wheel on the track).
Greetings from Wuppertal/Grüße aus Wuppertal 😼
This would been grafitied like crazy in us or europe but japan nope love how they keep things in public clean and neat and are no nonsense about it,reminded me of those cool sci fi shows or mouvies
Awesome train
Many Japanese cities have monorails but this suspension monorail is my most favorite
Thanks for sharing this!
Nice. The black train even has a floor window to look down. Ever tried to ride that one?
Thank you for the video!
I would not mind a video with the full 24 minutes ride, like an ASMR travel :)
interesting and very nice video
Thanks!.
Another wonderful video Kuga! Thank you for the tour of this line on such a bright sunny day in Chiba City! Did you notice that the train cars painted black on the ends appeared to have windows facing downward? That would make a wonderful view. Perhaps the next time you are in Chiba City you can take one of these trains and give us a view straight down?
That's right. I had the misfortune of having to use this monorail in April and my particular one had those damned windows in the bottom of the door. I didn't like it one bit! I am not very good with heights! Next time, I'm going by car! 😜
It does look like the train is upside down!
I had no idea these were real until now 😯
KOBAN is a police dispatch center.
The Chiba Urban Monorail also sometimes operates cars wrapped in cartoons set in Chiba City.
千葉みなとから乗るのは斬新
😄ALRIIIIIIGHT!!!
I don't think I could ride this. I'd be petrified!
It looks so fun to travel with! I love Tokyo for having literally any form of transportation you could ever wish for!!!
super cool!
thanks for these videos. do you have any more ferry videos planned? those are my favourites. :-)
Nice
A sky WHAT ? Jeez Japan really is living in 3033 !
This is awesome actually, you can have a normal road or an electric/diesel train on top ... XD
I like this one better than the lady monorail. Looked like a smoother ride.
This monorail is similar to Futran monorails in the Philippines
Sooooooo cool!
While these systems are really cool and futuristic, I can why they're not actively used. If you ever have a train break down on the track you don't have an emergency exit or pathway for people to take. At least with an L train people can walk on the bridge in an emergency.
I would be kind of weary of walking underneath these. It would feel like they'd fall. Sitting in one is different.
wow Japan is no joke
Fantastic! Thank you for the video! Are those cars manned driven ?
Wow it runs quite low to street level in places I did not expect that
Talking about this 2:51 part?
Its actually above 3rd floor of building
Love this train :) I make similar videos too. Thank you
Ngl, these are one of those things that would scare the living day lights out of me, but of be intrigued to go in one.
2:14 This is a police box.
Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel.
The time is 08:47 AM. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees, with an estimated high of one hundred and five. The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times. This train is inbound from Level 3 Dormitories to Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. If your intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the Central Transit Hub in Area 9 and board a high security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa Personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high security branch of the transit system
They should add a special 'glass bottomed' carriage so that you can see what's going on underneath the train.
As a side note, a building shown in 2:15 is a police box.
Wow , seperti kereta api terbang
The monorail..What would happen if the electricity fail? would it drop? Its a great invention & prevents using land space.
2:51 The place is the roof of Chiba Sogo department store
加速度凄まじいな
👍
Soon Doraemon will be a real thing in Japan.
We definitely need this in my country
Finally some Australian representation
