A big range of trains you can get on and experience. Aswell as a train ride that is 300 yen for 3 people. There is an inside exhibition aswell. My children's absolutely loved getting on all the trains and fiddling with the switches. Very good fun.

Not very big but the entry fee is very reasonable and you get a discount from multiple tourist passes including the JR All Kyushu railway pass. Brochures are helpful and offered in multiple languages. Aside from the artefacts and allowing you to step inside some of the train carriages, I would also recommend the interactive exhibits (mini train ride outdoors and driving simulator inside the exhibition hall) especially if you have kids, they cost extra but not much. Finally, the selection of souvenirs in the gift shop is really good.

Kyushu Railway Hostory Museum established since 2003. It is one of the spot in Mojiko which should not miss especially for trains fans. It has a number of old trains since 1922. Besides trains, it also has a collection of signs, uniform, tools, etc. it is highly recommended to pay a visit if you are fans or with family. You can spend at least half of a day there. Don’t forget to take a ride of Seaside train 潮風號, an antique train but still working. Buy a round trip ticket unless you want to go the Kanmon Tunnel. As a reminder, only accept cash or suica. No credit card / debit card is accepted.

I enjoyed my time here, very informative, and you can find different trains that used in the past now showcased here. I paid for the mini train experience, though the train is quite small for adults, still a very good experience 😂

Good for family, friends and kids! I enjoyed it as an adult and bought made in Japan t-shirt there! good value for money! Learned a lot about railway history! Would recommended queueing for train simulator once arrive (60-90mins wait), then explore the museum, and come back for the sim. There was also a mini train ride for kids. Also a 10min video show explaining history of railways every hr, though all in Japanese. Spent 2 hrs at the museum! Sufficient aircon for summer weather, good place to hide from blazing sun and heat! No re-enter after exit (sign that says clearly).
