What other travelers are saying about Kyoto Railway Museum
Good place to visit, but many people are in there, some are even disturbing me to visit the place, good for little kids and surprisingly, there are a steam engine working on railway, it made loud noise and it moved slowly. There are also different modes of train and some you can even go onto it, you can also press the emergency button to see how it works, railway fans will like here and here are some photos, and I also took some videos, but because rack are at least 10 minutes long, I can’t upload it, for the photos that I uploaded, I am very sorry for the low quality of them.
I really like this place. For train lovers, you can learn almost everything about trains in Japan. It is suitable for everyone and also a good learning resource for children. I highly recommend it. And if you buy the JR HARUKA EXPRESS ticket from the ticket agent [Trip.com], you can get a ticket to enter this museum for around 350yen.
Do not skip this. It's a history lesson in the perfect circumstances in creating accessible nationwide transit everyone uses. Could have easily spent an entire day here with just 2 middle aged adults! It's huge, immersive, informative, and extensive. Not to mention adorable because of all of the children.
A good number of full size engines and carriages. Mix of electric commuters, shinkansen and steam trains. The turntable of steam engines is really cool and you can go inside a few of the museum displays. A lot of educational and interactive stuff for kids too
Fun fun fun for the kids who love their trains! So many different display and you only get this in Japan! All the era of trains on display, interactive play, even if you don’t understand Japanese it was fun enough for the kids. There is a souvenir shop at the exit, it was really crowded!
