Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) Train Testing and Exhibition Center is located in Tsuru City, of Yamanashi Prefecture. The testing line itself is about 42.8 km long and it spans three cities in Yamanashi prefecture. You can visit the exhibition center that is located in Tsuru City and from the viewing platform in the exhibition center you can watch the testing runs of the Maglev Train. Here are a couple of links which give you additional information: http://www.linear-museum.pref.yamanashi.jp/english/

Great to see the implementation of the Powell-Danby 1st Generation superconducting maglev system at Yamanashi; we commend the Japanese for proving the concept. Wait until the world sees the astonishing capabilities of the Powell-Danby 2nd Generation freight system in North America. Standby.
Wow!
Thanks also for the directions you talked about. Super Azusa is beautiful <3
It was great to see a maglev train running!👍
Could you put the link in the description?
German invention 😉

I wonder how much it cost for mentenounce .
And look at the trains themselves. Traveling artwork. Why can't commuter lines (or AMTRAK) hire graffiti artists to do similar work in the US?
The testing line is of a similar (not identical) length to the planned Baltimore-DC segment of Northeast Maglev – which is why the eyeballing. (http://www.baltimorewashingtonscmaglev.com – kickoff segment – and http://www.northeastscmaglev.com – entire project)
