Asato

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Asato Station opened on 10 August 2003 with the inaugural Naha Airport–Shuri segment of the Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail). The area had previously been served by an earlier Asato Station on the Okinawa Prefectural Railways "Keibin", which operated from 1914 until it was destroyed during the 1945 fighting in World War II. The current stop is an elevated station with a single island platform serving two tracks, and acts as a gateway to the post-war Sakaemachi Market district.

The neighboring Makishi Station is only about 300 meters away in a straight line, and at opening it was possible to see Makishi Station from the platform, but subsequent redevelopment put up apartment buildings that now block the view.
