The World’s Shortest Escalator Can Be Found Just South Of Tokyo [Travel Video]
In case you find yourself in the city of Kawasaki, Japan (located just south of Tokyo), you won’t find much beyond the local baseball stadium, Kawasaki Stadium, and a large industrial center along the waterfront. However, if you get out at the Kawasaki Train Station and head across the street to the More’s department store, you will find the world’s shortest escalator, as Reddit user Etegamiguy recently discovered in the above video.
The vertical rise of the escalator is measured at only 32.8 inches, which is apparently good enough to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records (Yahoo! News even confirmed this fact with Guinness themselves). And now you know.
