Gallery

Trains

This one on the left can be seen a lot in Okayama. Feels so home!

 

Participatory Displays

Kids can experience maintaining train stuff. I wish I were qualified to join…

 

Railway Turntable

Overwhelming gathering of steam trains! It was my first time to see the railway turntable.

 

Diorama Show

This show is scheduled almost every hour. Reservation is not needed but you should get your seat and wait in advance. Many people come in quite early. We planned to leave in the middle of the show due to our time schedule. However, we end up watching the whole show. Damn it was a lot more entertaining than expected! It’s true that time flies.

 

OK, let’s call it a day.

 

Lastly

How do you find it? We figured that it takes ALL DAY to check the entire museum. We may need to go back and explore more another time. Hope it helps.

See you around!

    Trains are certainly one of the best things about Japan. I wonder if there is a similar museum for buses?
