History
Gibo opened on 10 August 2003 in Shuri-Gibo-chō 3-chōme, Naha, as an elevated station on the Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail) when the line first ran from Naha Airport to Shuri; its station number is 14. The structure carries an island platform with two tracks and is equipped with escalators and elevators. OKICA contactless ticketing was added on 20 October 2014 and Suica together with the other nationally interoperable IC cards from 10 March 2020. The station stands part-way up the steep climb of Okinawa Prefectural Route 82 toward Shuri; from its platforms travellers can look out across central Naha and Naha Harbour, with Shuri Castle visible to the south.
Notes
The arrival chime is an arrangement of the Okinawa-themed folk song "Bashōfu", and the Okinawan-dialect announcement near the ticket gates renders the station's name as "Jiibu" rather than the standard Gibo.
