1 artwork can be enjoyed.

Near the station’s ticket gates is a glass artwork that symbolizes Okinawa. Please take note of the glass art, which is different at each station, including a scene from “Yotsutake,” one of the most solemn and graceful of Ryukyuan classical dances, a yachimun (pottery) climbing kiln, and scenes from events held at Shuri Castle.

2Okinawa ‘s character is also found in such places

The exterior of the station building and the station name sign near the ticket vending machine are designed with “Bingata” (dyed fabric) and “Ryukyu Kasuri” (woven fabric), which are traditional Okinawan crafts.
The combination of the six station colors (blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and purple) at each of the three stations expresses the Okinawan character of the station.

3 Notice the vehicles and chimes!

The red line, the symbolic color of the vehicle, is inspired by the lacquer coating of Shuri Castle. The color change from black lines to gray has the effect of making the vehicle appear lighter and longer.
Before arriving at a station, chimes arranged with Okinawan folk songs will be played, and at each of the 19 stations, passengers can enjoy a familiar Okinawan melody.

For your peace of mind.

Yui Rail, which is used by many people, is committed to practicing hospitality so that everyone can use the system easily and with peace of mind.

All station attendants are working toward certification as service assistants to provide comfortable support to handicapped passengers. Fixed ramps will be installed one by one so that wheelchair users can get on the train without waiting for assistance from station staff.

In addition, station building and train information displays and station equipment are available in multiple languages.
