車両展示・新幹線エリア in Tōkai-shi

Great for kids and adultsThe simulations are fun but make sure you sign up early to reserve a spot

Another one of the best museums in Japan. Not to be missed if you have an interest in tech, trains or history.

Home of the famous Maglev train! An easy Jr train from Nagoya station will get you here in about 35 mins, the museum is right next to the station exit and easy to get to.Tickets cost ¥1,000 for adults, you can pay via the machine (has Englishwith ic, credit or cash. The train simulator is extra.Theres lots of kids here, tons to see and experience here. A must visit for all train lovers and riders. Dont forget to get a bento and eat it in the shinkansen car outside on 1F.

The SCMaglev and railway park was better than expected and we enjoyed it longer than I thought we would. Went on a rainy day which worked out well. There was amazing exhibits that taught the physics of magnetic levitation, steam engine mechanics, the evolution of train technology in Japan as well as the evolution of JNR to JR as we know it now.

Very Good place to see different kinds of train set and you can also drive the train by simulation.

Great museum, a lot of information about train ! Good for kids and family, also who love learning about the train.

Pretty awesome place to pay a visit with family! Cool playground for kids. My boy loves the 電車 and 新幹線 so much! There is a restaurant you can buy お弁当, and you can enjoy your meal outside in a real 新幹線 train.Personal recommend: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Family-friendly: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Date for couples: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Parking lot: ◯Services/meals/products/design: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Period for stay: 2-3 hoursCharge: adult 1,000 yen per person <3 years old kids, freeBaby room/accessible toilet: ◯Cleanness: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Its a great place to visit with family and friends. If you like to know the history of japanese trains, you must come here. The price for adults is 1000 JPY. There are some restuarants/ souvenir shop inside the premises. I specially liked the Shinkansen history and the evolution of the trains. There are also places for kids to enjoy like making model trains/tracks. They allow to visit the inside of some of the trains. Great museum 5/5

First: there’s no dedicated parking so park across the street at the furniture store and follow the signs as you walk (you’ll pass by actual trash cans if you’re carrying trash). Second: tickets are cash only (1,000 for adults and 300-500 for kids). Third: not great for strollers as you can’t bring them inside the trains.We had an awesome visit here and enjoyed the displays and the history. You can board at least ten different trains from various eras and see many more full-size cars from the history of rail. From the first version of the Shin, to maglev prototypes, to old steam-powered sleeper cars, there is a huge assortment of trains to explore here.We had no wait getting into the museum but tickets for the “shin operator” and “locomotive operator” experiences were sold out.Fun location for families, train enthusiasts, and photographers.

SCMaglev Railway Park in Nagoya is a great place to learn about the latest maglev technology and get close to many high-speed trains, including the very first Shinkansen from 1964. Great to see so much pride for Japanese technology at SCMAGLEV and Railway Park in Nagoya. It is an excellent place to visit, not just for the Shinkansen history and maglev future but has so many old rolling stock from years past that you can get up close and enjoy what it must have been like to travel in.

Never even thought I would be so excited after visiting this museum. So interesting, theres explanations everywhere in Japanese and English, and its full of interactive experiences.The Shinkansen driving simulator (fee chargedand the Maglev riding simulator (freeare the highlights.The museum is easily reached from Nagoya station via Aonami line in 30min.

Much better experience than expected. The Shinkansen simulation was amazing, the diorama is beautiful. It is worthy.

The SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, Nagoya, Aichi, JapanA wonderful museum showcasing some of Japans rich railway history.The experience begins from the moment you walk in the door and purchase your entry ticket - from a railway ticket vending machine!After passing through a set of barrier gates (exactly like those you will find at a commuter railway station!), you enter the Hall of Speed. Three incredible railway locomotives that hold speed records are showcased in this hall. Even if you are not fluent in Japanese, there is enough signage and information in English to learn more about these machines, and the speed records they hold.The main exhibition hall is behind the Hall of Speed, and this is where the bulk of the displays are. A wide variety of rolling stock is preserved in here - early-model Shinkansen units, locomotives, maintenance-of-way equipment (check out the track clearance carriage!), and passenger carriages.There is a very extensive model railway display which features a light and sound show that cycles through a "day and night". Be sure to make time to see this!A gift shop and cafe is located on site also.You can catch a train to the museum - take a train on the Aonami line to Kinjofuto station (this is the end of the line).The SCMAGLEV and Railway Park is a definite "MUST VISIT" for railway enthusiasts!

I could say it was the best railway museum I’ve ever been. The kids will enjoy and having so much fun exploring various type of trains. Recommend the kid’s play room on the 2nd floor which they can play with the set of railways toy for 1 hour. The simulator rides was really cool! There was no parking on site so I parked my car at Dome furniture (2 hours free of charges).

The history of Japan Railways. Before I was very curious how JapAn manage to be in the leads for railways. And in one place they explain it all. From the beginning until to this age of bullet trains exist. I like also how they sum up and collect all the different type of train and display in one place. How I wish my country was like this. Very convenient and efficient. Kudos to JapAn government for doing this kind of memorabilia and preserving the history.

Extensive collection of rail cars from many railway eras. Good place to visit for railway enthusiasts and even anyone not particularly technically oriented. The diorama will make any model train enthusiast wet themselves.

They have English!!! I love trains. This the the third major train museum Ive been to in Japan. The Kyoto one is probably "better" but has ZERO English. This place had English on almost everything, so obviously if you dont read fluenty in Japanese which I sure cant, this is the better musesm. You can spend a good 1/3 to 1/2 a day here.

I went here with a friend visiting from America, and I was impressed. We both thought it would be a quick trip through, but we ended up spending nearly the whole day here looking at trains.You can go inside some of the retired train cars (most of them, really), there are multiple exhibits on various aspects of JR trains and bullet trains, a whole room of model trains that run twice an hour, and they even had an English version of their ride experience that the lady offered to run for us. Lots of information, tons of trains and model trains, and there’s even a small cafe where you can buy ekiben themed foods. You can easily spend a whole day here if you like trains or history.

We visited Nagoya for a day to catch up with one of my sons schools friends who lives there with his family. After a delightful lunch they took us all to the JR Railway Park Museum. I have never see anything quiet like it. Even if your not a train buff it’s simply awesome and well worth a visit. The Kids loved it as well !

Lovely train museum. Well explaining display. There are many full size trainn showing, including real shinkansen. There is huge mini city where all trains operate. The museum shop is right after the exit.Not recommend to buy food or plan to hv a proper meal here. Limited food box and it is quite cold.

The is a great train museum. Very informative. Everything you want to know about the history of Japanese trains is here. They have rolling stocks from the beginning up to the current N700 Shinkansen. They also have the experimental meglav train here.

My sister and I both loved this place! It was well worth the travel to get there (we took the Shinkansen from Osaka to Nagoya in order to visit.)The trains are of course super cool to see! But the thing that impressed us the most was the educational side of the park. Its interesting and reading all the signs with the stats on each train is really fun.If you’re a train fanatic then this is a MUST visit. If you’re interested in them even just a little and have the time to spare, then we both recommend adding this to the itinerary!

This museum showcases all the trains used in central Japan from the first coal powered engine to the most modern maglev train. Great learning experience

Very interesting museum, everything ist explained well. It not only deals with rolling stock, but also explains infrastructure, control systems and more. Definitely worth a trip, especially with kids as they have a lot playfully executed explanations.

It is a heaven for train lovers! They have a lot of different shinkansen on display, you can even enter the cabin on most of them, a variety of some old and latest train including experimental maglev trains also on display. There are also train simulator for both shinkansen as well as regular commuter trains available at a very fair price. Kids friendly and adult will have a very fun time here as well! Highly recommended!

The Japans bet on train vs automotive, placed in the 60s, proved to be a winner, as all the items of this wonderful museum are showcasing. Particularly a place to bring your little ones... The 2027 commercialy-announced 500kmh-able maglev train can be experienced here...

The 新幹線 simulation is best but the whole place is smaller and with less variety of games than in 京都

A cool place to visit in Nagoya. You will witness how trains evolved in Japan. You can also try simulations by paying additional fees or if youre lucky, theres a raffle draw for a free experience.

A good place to know about the history and future of Japan Railway. An impressive museum! (Remarks: Museum is a bit far from city centrr so should reserve half a day to visit there.)

An outstanding train museum. This is a good place for all ages, not only for children. The staffs are so friendly. Recommended for family visit.

Wonderful experience, fully recommended for all ages and the whole family. Get in early as it will take some time to get through the whole exhibit. Audio guides available in multiple languages, mine ran out if battery right towards the end of the day but otherwise made for a great guide. Sadly, Id day only about 70% of the material is translated to English but still makes for a great experience nonetheless.

a great unique first hand experience for those who love engineering and challenges.touch, see into, feel and learn all about shinkansensplaygrounds, a restaurant. and the simulators❢enjoylovely

Excellent display of the trains in Japan. Great interactive displays. So worth a trip there, but no parking onsite. Park across the road in the mall

A wonderful collection of Japanese locomotives through the ages, and a preview of the futuristic maglev service that is due to come into operation in the next decade. Some interesting exhibits on how things are kept running today adds to a great experience, suitable for all ages. Worth the admission fee for sure.

Worth the 1000¥. Pretty cool hands on exhibits. Have multiple language handies to guide and interpret. I feel most of the information was translated well for English speaking visitors. Stored our luggage for the time we visited. Also free lockers for 100¥ deposit. Great gift shop, but expensive.

I have not enough good words for this train museum! The exhibit of full size real life Japanese trains from the early models to todays Maglev (first commercial service in 2027is extensive and interesting. Its possible to step inside many models.They have a "diorama", a miniature model of Nagoya station and surroundings with miniature trains thats just mesmerizing. A gem.Also dont miss the short (five minutesmovie about the Maglev test, as it provides a really good look and feel of what its going to be like traveling at 500 km/h

Such an amazing museum! All of the train displays are incredible. Its a great museum for all ages.

This is a good museum for trains!! You can see various train cars from old days to now. You can see old bodies and Shinkansen and Linear car!!! You can take photos all around here!! You can take a good photo from old days car!! There are miniature model!! You can play some activities like to drive simulator for train!! There are a small food shop and vending machine for drink. But it’s not good to make you full, so it’s better to have it other place before you get in here. You can buy good souvenirs here!! Enjoy!! It’s good place for family with kids!! Enjoy!!

A museum where you can see the development of railway technology development in Japan from the very beginning.There are complete facilities. Clean & comfortable rest room, restaurant, souvenir shop and playground.

Excellent experience, think i got more than i paid for with the cheap 1,000 yen tickets. It has a theatre, and many actual train bodies to explore and touch. Thoroughly awesome afternoon spent here.

Visiting the railway park was so much fun! Ive seen a documentary about it on NHK World and I just had to visit it (cause Im a big train nerdand it was even better than expected. One minus though; most descriptions and explanations only come in Japanese, so definitely get an audio guide if you cant read Japanese (the audio guides are free). Entry is ¥1000 for an adult, which is absolutely fine. Learning about Japanese train history was so much fun.

Was really good. You get to see the fastest train in the world here that went 581 km/h (but not gonna tell you how 😋and really old trains that offer the history of Japan. Obviously its in Japanese but there is English available which is a bonus. Even the simulator was in English to help understand what was going on. Spent roughly 2 hours there.

This is a must visit for any train buff. They have a very nice selection of rolling stock. The hall with the 3 generations of high speed trains is amazing specially when you view it from the balcony. Remember to drop your ticket for the lottery to win a turn on the Shinkansen simulator. Nice little cafe which has bento boxes. Very easy to get to although the last train is not included on the JR pass.

The newer trains were so interesting for me, but they had a few older ones too. Not super old, but old enough to have an antique feel to them! They also had a miniature replica of the Tokyo area made of small figurines. They had the miniature trains operating too. Very cool to see.

Comparing with the museum in Omiya, it shows a lot of other features in limited express.Also it cover a lot of information about Shinkansen, good! However they are less train comparing Omiya’s.

Excellent museum of the trains, when you walk in from the entrance, youll see the 3 awesome trains with a wow factor. IPad is optional though 2nd floor exhibits are in Japanese, you can walk into the carriage to have a look how its designed and they have a breakdown on their train mechanism, how they do maintenance. Overall is a good visit, probably takes half a day of you walk through and read everything thoroughly.

Must see for a train geek and overall interesting museum for everyone. Magnificent trains on display fron very old one to the cutting edge maglev technology. Very impressive!

As a mother of a train-enthusiast, we come to this museum every chance we get. Easy to access from Kinjo-futo station via the Aonami Line. For a small fee you can try out the train simulation which allows you to experience what its like to be a driver of a JR commuter train. By lottery, you can experience driving a shinkansen (bullet trainand train conductor (the person in charge of opening and closing the door). There are lots of hands-on demonstrations of workings of a shinkansen. Theres also a playroom for kids under the age of 6. My only complaint is the cafe. They serve cold bentos, just like what youd purchase onboard the Tokaido Shinkansen. You can, however bring your own food.

A museum dedicated for train/transportation/engineering lovers! Good info on how trains became an integrated part of life in Japan. Pretty cool miniature city show with amazing details. Train conductor simulation was super fun and interesting. 2nd floor has childrens play area with toy trains and tracks. A staff is there to sanitize the toys after each use (wow). Easy to navigate facility with ramps and elevators. Will come back!

Must see if you plan on visiting Nagoya. Nearly all exhibits are described in English. You can find there trains from 100 years ago as well as more recent Shinkansen and Maglev ones.¥1000 per person but worth it. Slow walk around everything will take you about 3 to 4 hours.
