Give it a Day - I was surprised how long I spent here. The diorama and short train ride elevated this experience. I love trains and Japan does it well.

I'd be happy to do it again. It's worth it for small children and for professionals. - Very good exhibition. Several old locomotives and carriages including steam locomotives and Shinkansen of various types are on display. Old signal boxes and old signal control systems are well represented. Track construction and old train stations.
