The Yurikamome Line (ゆりかもめ), officially known as the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line, operates as an unmanned automated transit system. It is celebrated for its scenic elevated routes that pass directly through some of Tokyo's most futuristic and picturesque waterfront areas.

In this video, viewers will stop at key stations such as Shiodome (汐留), Takeshiba, Hinode, Shibaura-futō, Odaiba-kaihinkōen, Daiba, Tokyo International Cruise Terminal, Telecom Center, Aomi, Tokyo Big Sight, Ariake, Ariake Tennis no Mori, Shijō-mae, Shin-Toyosu, and finally Toyosu. Each stop reveals a different side of Tokyo’s ever-evolving bay area, from business and media centers to entertainment and international ports.
Originally launched in 1995, Yurikamome is Japan’s first fully automated guideway transit system, running on rubber-tired vehicles instead of traditional rails. The ride not only provides practical transportation but also has become a sightseeing attraction in its own right thanks to its panoramic views and cutting-edge infrastructure.
For those interested in engineering, urban planning, or simply discovering Tokyo from a unique perspective, this video is both relaxing and educational. Whether planning a visit to the capital or exploring from home, this visual journey offers a captivating look into Tokyo’s modern transit systems and waterfront vistas.
