Rare 2006 Footage of Tokyo’s Yurikamome Ariake–Toyosu Extension Opening – 新交通システムゆりかもめ 新橋から豊洲へ（事業記録）

This video is a valuable archive documenting the Ariake-Toyosu extension project in 2006. When Yurikamome first opened in 1995, it only ran between Shimbashi and Ariake. At the time, Shimbashi Station was a temporary station and Shiodome Station had not yet opened. The current Shimbashi Station opened in 2001, Shiodome Station in 2002, and the extension in 2006 completed the current line from Shimbashi to Toyosu (16 stations in total). This video also touches on the construction work that took place at the time, making it an extremely valuable record. Please be sure to check it out. *Some footage has been edited out. *This footage is archival footage produced in 2006 and may differ in parts from the current version. Rare archive footage of the 2006 Ariake–Toyosu extension of the Yurikamome line. The line began in 1995 between Shimbashi and Ariake, with a temporary Shimbashi terminal and no Shiodome Station. Shimbashi opened in 2001, Shiodome in 2002, and the 2006 extension completed today’s Shimbashi–Toyosu route. Some parts of this video have been edited or trimmed. Please note that this footage was recorded in 2006, so certain details may differ from the current version.
