Japan’s Railway Museum

In 2007, the Railway Museum opened in Omiya, Saitama City as the centerpiece of the JR East 20th Anniversary Memorial Project. In July 2018, the museum opened a new south building and renovated the main building. Featuring five stations – Rolling Stock Station, History Station, Job and Future Station – the Railway Museum tells the story of the railroad and the people who built it. Its collection includes a variety of artifacts that tell the story of the relationship between trains and their communities.

There are three museums in Japan. The first is located in Tokyo. In October 2007, it opened in Omiya. This is the city’s only railway museum. In addition to its collection of a variety of artifacts, it also offers driving simulators of various train types. Visitors can take the wheel of a D51 steam locomotive, a Shinkansen train, or a subway car on the Tokaido Line or Keihin Tohoku Line. For younger visitors, the D51 simulator is suitable. For older children, other simulators are more appropriate.

To visit the Railway Museum in Tokyo, you can use the New Shuttle people mover from Tetsudo-Hakubutsukan Station. The museum is accessible from the JR East system or from the Omiya station on the JR West line. During your visit, you may also enjoy the Teppaku Reading Room. Upon arriving, you’ll see a map of the museum and some ideas for your stay. The Japanese Railways are known for their unique traditions and culture.

The New Haven Historical Museum, located in New Haven, Connecticut, had outgrown its space and needed a new location. Two brothers in New Haven donated six acres of land and the building. The museum reopened in July 1990. In addition to the old museum, the New Haven Historical Society purchased a former L&N branch line from CSX that was about to be abandoned between Mount Vernon and Boston. With a state grant and Bingham Foundation funds, the Museum was able to purchase 17 miles of line, including the L&N locomotive #152.

The New Shuttle people mover connects you to the museum from Tetsudo-Hakubutsukan Station, a JR East station. Visiting the Museum is a unique experience for the whole family. It will leave you wanting to know more about the past of the railway. If you’re looking for a unique experience, try visiting a railroad museum in Tokyo. You’ll find a place you’ll love for the rest of your life.
