This was a fun, interesting, and informative visit. Many trains here, old to new. They even allow you to walk inside many of the real trains on display. Find out many facts relative to tracks, power, speed, and, of course, magnetic levitation! Very small kid and big kid friendly! Enjoy in Japanese or English.

Not my usual cup of tea, but it was beyond impressed with the collections of trains. Impressive beyond most any museum in the US exception being a few of the Smithsonians. Very interactive for kids and adults alike, if you happen to be in Nagoya about a 20-minute subway ride from the main station can spend about an hour and a half to 2 hours here looking around.

Our son enjoyed walking through the train cars and trying out the interactive exhibits. Unfortunately, the driving simulato...

It's a true sensory experience – a feast for the eyes, ears, and even your sense of wonder. Witnessing these magnificent machines firsthand is an absolute must-do when in Japan. And for an incredibly affordable ¥500, you can even try your hand at a train driver simulat...
