Yurikamome Pins DX Capsule Toy Machine, Tokyo
Taken March 2023
The Yurikamome is an automated guideway transit line that opened in 1995, running about 14.7 kilometers between Shimbashi Station and Toyosu, with a route through the Odaiba waterfront district. Trains operate driverless, guided by rubber tires on a concrete track rather than steel rails. This capsule toy machine dispenses "Yurikamome Pins DX," a 200-yen souvenir series licensed by the operating company, Yurikamome Inc. The pin designs reference stops and landmarks along the line, including Tokyo Big Sight and Odaiba Kaihinkoen stations, both major destinations for visitors to the waterfront area.
