Great railway museum, very popular with families. Exhibitions are primarily in Japanese but with highlights in English. It would be great if there were more information published in English for tourists. The diorama is lovely but there are definitely better ones in Europe.

Very nice place for people who love trains and technology in general. A couple of hours is enough to explore every corner of the museum. Has a wide range of interactive media that explain the Japanese train history and its development, I was personally intrigued by the train diorama they had. Very informative for kids too! Thanks for the wonderful place!

Right beside a train station, and cheap parking close by. Great for kids of all ages! Good size museum you and your family can spend a full day. Great lunch options as you can try many different train lunchboxes, be sure to show up early for the best selection。。。♡

Brought me back to my childhood years playing with LIMA trains.... This is an amazing place for kids and the family. We were treated to a drum performance by youth and kids, too, as it was the weekend. It's super convenient to visit as it's a point to point train from nagoya Station, the end point, which is just outside the museum.

Very very cool railway museum! The train display (multiple of them!) are super impressive! You could walk into most/all of the retired train cars in the display room and really see its revolution! My 5yr old son is a big (little) train fan, and he had SO MUCH fun exploring (and playing a bit of hide and seek too) among the train cars! They have both 2 different kinds of train simulators for you to experience how driving a train is like: normal train for 100 yen (8-10 min), and Shinkansen simulator for 500 yen (~15 min, first come first served and you need to reserve for a specific time). Both were fun and recommended! We also really enjoyed the interactive exhibits on both first and second floor where you could learn about different parts and mechanics of the trains (mostly Japanese though). There is also a ticket machine where you could input and print out your own unique named tickets! Great free souvenir. They are a proper gift shop at the exit of the museum where you can find all kinds of cool and cute train/Shinkansen souvenirs as well! Surprised and super neat gem place for anyone visiting Nagoya!
