    Overview

    This is a tour for families with children who love vehicles, people who love trains, and people who love architecture to come and see and experience the joy of Japanese railroads! At the Railway Museum, you can learn about the history of Japanese railroads, enter an old train car that was actually running, and see dioramas and other exhibits. The museum also has two restaurants and a café, including a high-class restaurant with a motif of a dining car that used to be connected to Shinkansen and sleeper trains. In addition, visitors can purchase ekiben (boxed meals) at the store or bring their own lunch boxes to eat on the actual train. In the outdoor Park Zone, visitors can actually experience driving a mini driving train and mini shuttle. In the “mini driving train,” visitors can drive a mini train on a track with a circumference of about 300 meters. The “Panorama Deck” on the rooftop provides a panoramic view of the Shinkansen tracks and is a great place to spend the day.
