Today, we are going to The Railway Museum in Ōmiya, Saitama, less than an hour by train from Tokyo Station.

The Railway Museum (Tetsudō Hakubutsukan) opened in October 2007, with a massive building measuring 20,000 m². The museum features about 30 railway cars, train cab simulators, railway model dioramas, and more.

There’s loads to see and do, and it’s a great day for children and adults alike!
