Today we’re visiting the largest and most extensive train museum in Japan, the Kyoto Railway Museum. Please SUBSCRIBE to our channel to follow the journey –
One train stop from Kyoto and just 3 minutes walk from Umekōji-Kyōtonishi Station, the JR West railway museum should be on anyone’s list of things to see and do in Kyoto, whether you’re into trains or not! Covering three floors on a 30,000 square meter site, the museum exhibits a total of 53 retired trains, from steam locomotives to more recent electric trains and shinkansen. The history of all things in and around rail transport in Japan is covered in excruciating detail to satisfy the itch of any budding or practising train nerd.
