A Day on the Chiba Urban Monorail | Japan’s 2nd Suspended City Railway
Today, Beary is in Chiba City, Japan, on the edge of Tokyo Bay, about 40 km east of central Tokyo.
From Tokyo Station, it’s roughly a 30-minute ride to Chiba Station, where the adventure begins on the Chiba Urban Monorail.
With only one day to explore, Beary and Grandpa Bear ride both lines, hop off at scenic stations, and hunt for the best filming spots—parks, ponds, rivers, and even a business district reflection shot. Along the way: ice cream naps under passing trains, “artistic” YouTube-inspired camera angles, Beary’s Fun Facts, and a very dangerous encounter with wasabi KitKats.
If you enjoy calm train footage with a bit of storytelling and bear-based chaos, please like, subscribe, and tell Beary which station was your favorite.

Yay! Oday, Beary is making spelling mistakes again!
you missed the castle view (I know it's not much of a castle but still… the outside looks quite nice, even if it's concrete)
Nice relax video, just became subscriber #82, best wishes from Brazil
Another great video. If you like monorails that much as i do maybe visiting the suspended monorail in Wuppertal in Germany is an idea for a future trip.
