Stations of Ueno Zoo Monorail, Monorail stations in Ueno Zoo, Japan.
The suspended monorail system connects two stations across a 300-meter track, offering transportation between different sections of the zoo grounds.
Established in December 1957, this transportation system marked a milestone as the first monorail installation in Japan, designed to address urban congestion.
The monorail stations represented an intersection of German engineering principles and Japanese transportation innovation, featuring rubber tires instead of traditional steel wheels.
The stations operated from 9:40 AM to 4:30 PM during zoo hours, with trains departing every seven minutes for a 90-second journey.
These stations served the world's first zoo monorail system, which operated for over six decades before its final closure in December 2023.
