The journey starts here. All aboard...
It's a bog-standard provincial train in all respects but one. There is no track.
Here we go...
Careering above the streets, swaying over intersections, zooming through tunnels, you get a great view — look, you can even see the sea sparkling in the distance.
To give you a better idea, here are a couple of grainy vids.
Finally we've arrived. Now it's time for some great ice cream — and maybe a Pimm's!
Much more tomorrow in The Japan Times (it's up now — here's the link).
Update: As mentioned in the comments, this is the Shonan Monorail, which runs from Ofuna — next to the JR station (Tokaido, Yokosuka and Keihin-Tohokou lines) — to Shonan-Enoshima.
For train and travel buffs, there's an interesting photo essay by the Monorail Society which gives some good background info.
It's a great ride!
