Details
In 2005, the Okinawa Monorail is the only rail line providing rail transportation in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. In the past, Okinawa Island had railroad, trolley, and horse-drawn streetcar service. Also, Minami Daito and other islands had rail lines to transport sugar cane and other commodities. The first rail line laid down in Okinawa was during the Meiji period when in 1902, in Minami Dait , a line opened with handcars. Okinawa Island's first railroad opened in 1910, for the transportation of sugar cane. After many false starts, rail transportation began in earnest during the Taish period. The Okinawa Electric Railway (the predecessor of Okinawa Electric Company), having received exclusive rights to this route in 1910, opened the island's first streetcar line, between Daimon-mae and Shuri (5.7 km, 1067 mm gauge, 500 V). Some months later, as an expansion of service on the sugar-cane line in Nishihara, the company introduced person-drawn service between Yonabaru and Konaha (762 mm gauge).
