Today was my last full day in Japan.  I visited Aichi prefecture to ride Linimo, Japan's only urban maglev.  This line was built for the 2005 Aichi World's Fair, and is about 10 km long.  I can't even begin to describe just how fantastic this one is.  It is futuristic, smooth, and absolutely silent.  From the ground, you don't even know trains are passing by.  On board, only a very faint noise from the linear induction motor can be heard on acceleration or deceleration.  I so wish more cities could be as bold as to build systems like these.  It was a great line to wrap up my trip with.
