Linimo, Magnetic levitation railway line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The Linimo train system covers 8.9 kilometers with nine stations, floating 8 millimeters above the track while reaching speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.

The Linimo railway line opened on March 6, 2005, specifically constructed to transport visitors to the World Expo 2005 exhibition grounds in Aichi Prefecture.

The train route passes through the Nagakute battlefield, where a major samurai confrontation occurred in 1584 during Japan's feudal period.

Passengers can access the Linimo from Nagoya Station by taking the subway Higashiyama Line to Fujigaoka Station, with fares ranging between 160 and 360 yen.

The train operates without drivers using magnetic levitation technology, marking its position as Japan's first commercial urban maglev transportation system.
