The Main Monorail Line and the Saito Line diverge at Bampaku-kinen-koen Station, which has two platforms with three tracks. Including the east side, there are 5 railway switches that create this complicated monorail. The Osaka Monorail is the only monorail in Japan that has a secondary line, so you can see the switches move as they make the complicated monorali line. As you can get a good view of the switches in action from the platform of Bampaku-Kinenkoen Station, it has become a spot that's getting a lot of attention in Osaka.
