    Extremely interesting despite lack of English explanation

    This not-so-small museum offers a nice range of real size trains, and models, posters, etc, as well as some cars and planes. The whole atmosphere is fascinating as well as the joy of the children. Don't miss the hourly show.

    Nice Museum to spend an hour or two

    These places bring out my inner geek. I was travelling on my own but noticed that the children who attended seemed to really enjoy the place. Older teenagers may find it a bit boring. I enjoyed the effort that have gone into some of the...More

    Good experience

    It is a very good place to learn about the development of trains in Japan. Very good display of the trains. The model trains are captivating. Must see for kids.

    Just Ok

    It was average - not super fantastic but if you have nothing else to do, then this is a good way to spend a wet afternoon like we did. Kids did not complain and went round the whole place, playing and exploring.

    a good layout and display

    a well preserved collection of mostly train related items including locomotives and rolling stock but loads of unsupervised small children running about everywhere.
