Chiba - JR Chiba Station

We got dinner at JR Chiba station. In our process of looking for which restaurant we wanted to eat at we found a really interesting escalator with two stair sections and a flat section in the middle.

Chiba - Chishirodai Station

We took the Chiba Urban Monorail to its Chishirodai Station terminus which was seemingly in a predominantly residential neighborhood with a small mall. We went through the grocery store of this mall and really found the selection quite interesting. We also took the opportunity to take more photos of the trains themselves and the tracks.

Chiba Urban Monorail

I really wanted to ride on the Chiba Urban Monorail, a suspended monorail. It is very interesting riding in a train where you are sailing over the traffic below you. We enjoyed the experience. Granted, it does not go all that fast and can be a bit wobbly at times, but I am really happy we road on it. There are not many of these operational in the world.

Chiba - JR Chiba Station

We took a trip on the Subo Line to Chiba from Tokyo. We wanted to see the suspended monorail. One of the things that was awesome was that the bathrooms in the station had rooms for handicap access as well as a nursery for mothers in need of nursing facilities. It would be really cool if more US public facilities were so accommodating.
