Naha City is an attractive city with many great sights and interesting spots, and even a few World Heritage Sites such as Shurijo Castle and the Shikinaen Royal Garden. A lot of Naha’s best places are within walking distance of the almost brand new monorail system.
Take the Yui-rail
Originally running between Naha Airport and Shuri, the line was extended to Urasoe City in 2019. The fare ranges between ¥230~¥370, with a 50% discount for children under 12. If you plan on using the monorail multiple times. you can also purchase a pass for one (¥800) or two days (¥1400). Tickets and passes are available at every station.
Trains run from about 6:00 to 23:30, with a train every 5-10 minutes in the daytime. It is a very convenient way to bypass traffic, and also allows you to move around Naha while enjoying the view from the monorail’s window.
