Details
The Skyrail operated as a familiar means of transportation for residents of the Midorizaka Housing Complex in Aki Ward for many years. The drive system was a unique combination of ropeway, monorail, and linear motor technologies, offering advantages such as the ability to handle steep inclines, curves, and strong winds. This system was found nowhere else in the world. The exhibition allows visitors to explore the interior of the Skyrail, which was active from its opening in August 1998 until the final operation at the end of April 2024.
