Monorail is convenient transport when you stay at Naha, Okinawa and travel from airport to city. There are 15 stations but can cover the main sightseeing place in Naha. Monorail fare is not cheap comparing JR, subway. Purchasing 1 day / 2 day monorail pass can save your travel cost and some entrance fee of sightseeing place. The ticket is available 24 hours or 48 hours after the first using, does not expire on 0:00. I think it is fair. There are elevators every stations so carrying the luggage up and down is not problem.

1 Day Ticket: Adult 800 yen, Child 400 yen (Valid for 24 hours after purchase)
2 Days Ticket: Adult 1,400 yen, Child 700 yen (Valid for 48 hours after purchase)
