Let's discover, touch, and experience! Kyoto Railway Museum
The museum preserves and exhibits 54 actual rolling stock, from steam locomotives to Shinkansen trains. This is a museum where everyone can learn about railroads while having fun.
The fan-shaped train cars are designated as important cultural properties of Japan, and in the center there is a turntable for changing the direction of the steam locomotive.
The skeleton automatic ticket gate clearly shows the movement of the ticket from insertion to exit.
Check out the popular interactive exhibit where you can ride in a passenger car pulled by a real steam locomotive.
