Discover Japan’s Railway Legacy at the Kyoto Railway Museum

The Kyoto Railway Museum invites railway fans, families and curious travellers to explore the rich story of Japanese trains. Ideal for visitors of all ages, this dynamic museum showcases the technology, history and culture that power Japan’s world-renowned rail network.

Explore Real Locomotives & Hands-On Exhibits

Wander three floors filled with a diverse collection of 53 full-size, retired trains. From classic steam locomotives and Shinkansen bullet trains to modern electric trains, every corner reveals how Japan’s railways have evolved. Peek underneath a real freight locomotive to see its inner workings or get a close look at restored engines and carriages that once travelled across Japan.

The museum is more than just a display. Step into the shoes of a train conductor by trying the realistic driving simulator, or watch expertly crafted model trains run along intricate tracks and miniature scenes. Engage with interactive exhibits designed for children and adults to spark an interest in mechanics and engineering.

Dive into Railway Culture

In addition to stunning trains, the museum features a range of railway memorabilia. View past uniforms, historic tools and artifacts from every era of Japanese rail innovation. The displays give a glimpse into the daily lives of train crews and the evolution of travel in Japan.

Take in Spectacular Views & Family-Friendly Spaces

After exploring the exhibits, relax at the museum’s family-friendly restaurant on the second floor. Situated beneath an expansive observation deck, the space offers wide windows overlooking busy train lines—including the JR Kyoto Line—where you can watch modern trains zooming by.
