New Transit Yurikamome,^[a] formerly theTokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line,^[b] is anautomated guideway transit service inTokyo. It connectsShimbashi toToyosu via theartificial island ofOdaiba, a corridor in which it competes with theRinkai Line. It is operated byYurikamome, Inc., a third-sector subsidiary ofTokyo Rinkai Holdings, Inc. (TRHC), which itself is funded by theTokyo Metropolitan Government, the largest shareholder of TRHC.^[2]

The line is named after theblack-headed gull (yurikamome in Japanese),^[3] a common denizen ofTokyo Bay and the official metropolitan bird.^[4]

History

[edit]

The line was one of two constructed to transport people into the Rinkai subcenter, the other being theRinkai Line. The Rinkai subcenter was planned to be the seventh subcenter of Tokyo as far back as 1979. In April 1989, the subcenter was projected to have 60,000 residents and 110,000 workers by the start of the 21st century. This plan was revised following thecollapse of theJapanese asset price bubble. The openings of the Yurikamome and the Rinkai Line in 1995 and 1996 were scheduled to be completed by the start of theWorld City Expo [ja] in 1996. However, the expo was cancelled byYukio Aoshima in April 1995.^[5] On 1 November 1995, the section betweenShimbashi andAriake opened, using a temporary Shimbashi station. In the first few months of operation,ridership hovered around 27,000 passengers per day.^[6]

In 1996, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government re-zonedOdaiba from purely business and residential to also permit entertainment zones. The island provided Tokyo with a livable seaside area, and within one year, ridership doubled to 60,000. As more restaurants, shopping malls, exhibition centers, and museums opened, traffic continued to grow.^[6] On 22 March 2001, the current Shimbashi Station opened, and the temporary station closed.Shiodome Station opened on 2 November 2002.^[7] On 27 March 2006, the section between Ariake andToyosu opened, and the stations adopted letter-and-number codes based onTokyo Metro.^[8]

A plan to extend the line toKachidoki Station had existed since at least 2000, although it was not included in the 2016 list of considered transit routes.^[9]^[10]

Infrastructure

[edit]

The Yurikamome is Tokyo's first fully automated and driverless transit system, controlled entirely by computers. However, the line is not the first fully driverless transit line in Japan, as theNagoya Municipal Subway tested such systems in 1960, driverless technology was used duringExpo '70 and Kobe's automatedPort Island Line opened in 1981.^[11]^[12]

Rolling stock

[edit]

The line usesMitsubishi Heavy Industries rubber-tired "Crystal Mover" technology.^[13] The trains run onrubber-tired wheels along an elevated concrete track guided by the side walls.^[11] As of 8 April 2021^[update], the following train types are used on the line, all formed as six-car sets.^[14]

7300 series

[edit]

As of 2021^[update], eighteen 7300 series sets (31 to 48) are in service, formed as six-car sets as follows.^[15]

Car No.	1	2	3	4	5	6
Designation	Mc1	M2	M3	M4	M5	Mc6
Numbering	7xx1	7xx2	7xx3	7xx4	7xx5	7xx6

("xx" stands for the unit number.)

7500 series

[edit]

As of 11 August 2024^[update], eight 7500 series sets (51 to 58) are in service, formed as six-car sets as below.^[14] In November 2020, delivery of the eight six-car sets was completed.^[16]

Stations

[edit]

The letter "U" is used as the symbol for station numbers rather than "Y" for Yurikamome as this letter is already used as the acronym for theTokyo Metro Yurakucho Line.

Ridership

[edit]

Ridership on the line peaked at over 200,000 daily boardings in 2000,^[17] but declined substantially by 2004 as theRinkai Line, which opened a year after the Yurikamome, expanded further into the waterfront area and offered lower fares. Between 2004 and 2006, four new stations were added, which raised ridership slightly. As of 2023, daily ridership is roughly 97% of pre-pandemic levels, with patronage shifting to the eastern end of the line.
