AGT

This is a automated guideway system linking Shimbashi in Tokyo to the new development on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. It's most interesting section is when if goes over the Rainbow Bridge. It makes a loop to gain elevation to cross the bridge on the Tokyo side. Yurikamome translates into Seagull. The line is also called Tokyo Waterfront New Rapid. It is a neat system to ride.
