Top ways to experience Yui Rail (Okinawa Urban Monorail)
What other travelers are saying about Yui Rail (Okinawa Urban Monorail)
Great way to get around. They accept IC card pasmo which is great. But don’t assume pasmo IC card can be used for bus. It’s can’t! Only Okica IC card and cash.

This is the "Westernmost Station in Japan" monument.
It's right next to the ticket gate of Yui Rail Naha Station, so it's very easy to find.
It would be fun if there was some kind of certificate of arrival or commemorative ticket, but I don't think there is anything special about it.
By the way, in addition to this Yui Rail Naha Station, there are also Nagasaki Prefecture's Tabira Hiradoguchi Station and JR Sasebo Station, which are billed as ``Japan's westernmost station.''
Commemorative certificates are also available at Tabira Hiradoguchi Station.
Akamine Station, which is one station from here, has a monument marking it as ``Japan's southernmost station,'' so I think it would be a good idea to visit it as well.

The sign reads "Japan's westernmost station."
In fact, there is nothing special about it, and there is no certificate to receive upon arrival.
But for me, who often travels by motorcycle in Taiwan, collecting such geographically related signs has become a regular activity.
For example, Taiwan's four poles, Taiwan's center point, the highest point of Taiwan's highways, etc.
So... Japan's westernmost station - Naha Airport Station, the collection is complete!

Naha Airport Station on the Okinawa Urban Monorail is the westernmost station in the country.
The monument is in front of the ticket gate.
Then, we rode the extended section of the Okinawa Urban Monorail, which will be the main part of our Okinawa trip in the fall of 2019, and headed to Tedako Uranishi in Urasoe City.
The area in front of Tedako Uranishi Station was still undergoing land readjustment.
In the first place, Naha City not only has a motorized society, but also has severe traffic congestion in the city, and the roads are constantly flattened to the point where they are said to be in a state of disrepair, so the monorail was created as a way to alleviate this problem.
On October 1, 2019, we opened an extended branch outside of Naha City.

If you are riding the Yui Rail and are about to enter the airport, the monument will be on the left after exiting the ticket gate, and if you have arrived at the airport and are about to board the Yui Rail, the monument will be on the right before you enter the ticket gate.
Akamine Station, which is one stop away on the Yui Rail from this station, which is ``Japan's westernmost railway station,'' is ``Japan's southernmost railway station,'' but in order to see the monument, you must not only exit the ticket gate. , you have to go outside the station.
