Shonan's Hanging Monorail, Japan’s Upside-Down Train

Ride along the Shonan Monorail, one of the world’s few suspended (hanging) monorails. We start at Shonan Enoshima, glide above quiet neighborhoods, catch views of Sagami Bay and even Mt. Fuji, stop by anime locations from “Just Because”, and finish near JR Ōfuna with gorgeous nighttime shots.

🎵 Music cameo by Grandpa Bear (“The Last Jar on the Shelf”)
🎥 Shot around Kamakura & Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture
