Overview
The Railway Museum in Saitama Prefecture boasts a large collection of trains dating back to the dawn of Japan's railway history. The museum is home to classic steam locomotives and commuter trains, as well as the high-speed Shinkansen. The Railway Museum also features Japan's largest railway diorama, along with a variety of train simulators that can be enjoyed by children, adults and railway fans alike. In addition, a new section of the museum hosts an exhibition that considers the work, history and future of railways. See the new-look museum since its renewal in July 2018.
