What other travelers are saying about The Railway Museum
This was such a great time! It was about $25 USD for two adults. We spent the better part of the day here witnessing this amazing museum. This had many unique and interactive exhibits for all ages. This was hands down one of the best museums we have been to. The only down side was the museum was packed with kids the whole time but were mostly well behaved. We only speak English they had an app to translate everything for us which was really helpful.
Epic. Well worth a visit (if you like trains).
Loads of interactive stuff, restaurants, cafes, simulators and of course a detailed history of how Japan has excelled at train travel.
Top tip is to download the app and when you arrive enter the raffles as some attractions are raffled off due to numbers .
Definitely a WOW for train lover children. It's very educational for grownups too. Vast collection of actual train models across history of Japanese modernization. Different zones displaying different era of engine technology. Truly inspiring for young ones. And the information and playground section of the museum, bravo!! Also, must try to train themed restaurant!
Really great museum. A lot of the displays and presentations don't have English translations, but even with that the place is fun. There are a number of trains from different periods. You can get on and sit inside. A large model diorama. Top tip is to get the railway museum app which runs a raffle system to have a go on simulators and the chance to drive a mini train.
This place is HUGE! Be prepared to spend a full day here if you don't want to skip any exhibits. Lots of train cars from different eras. The centerpiece is a steam locomotive on a turntable. Although the locomotive does not run, there are two daily demonstrations in which the turntable is rotated a full circle and the locomotive would sound its horn. I also enjoyed the diorama demonstration and the Imperial Carriages.
