The only train on the island of Okinawa is a monorail. It is located in the city of Naha. With population of about 300,000, Naha is Okinawa's largest city.
I loved the automated fare machine. Like buying a ticked on the Tokyo subway system, you look for your destination and its fare on the map posted on the wall above the fare machine. Simple enough. But, the coin jammed in the fare box while Gordon was trying to buy our monorail tickets. While Gordon was momentarily staring at the fare box to try to figure out how to get our change back, a man's head and arm emerged from between two fare boxes. The man reached around, jiggled the machine and delivered the tickets.
Also like the Tokyo subways, the monorail stations have uniformed attendants wearing white gloves, to "guide" passengers onto the train cars.
And my favorite part was the little stickers on the train doors inside the cars, with graphic pictures of crabs with pinched claws, to keep your hands away from the closing doors.
