    A small railway museum that you can learnt the history of the railway of Kyushu. There are some old trains displayed that you can get inside to see how the inside looks. You can also take great pictures here too. Highly recommended for kids and photographers.

    A place featuring the real trains of the past models as well as the history of Japan's trains from past to present in another building second floor within the museum. Admission fee into the museum for adult is about 300 yen. There is also a mini train station for kids to ride the mini train models with a fee.

    Great little railway museum. Has quite the collection of locomotives for its size. A lot of other exhibits and historical items that are insightful for the rail fan. Really easy access from Mojiko station which is another must see place. So cheap to enter as well.

    Good for family, friends and kids! I enjoyed it as an adult and bought made in Japan t-shirt there! good value for money! Learned a lot about railway history! Would recommended queueing for train simulator once arrive (60-90mins wait), then explore the museum, and come back for the sim. There was also a mini train ride for kids. Also a 10min video show explaining history of railways every hr, though all in Japanese. Spent 2 hrs at the museum! Sufficient aircon for summer weather, good place to hide from blazing sun and heat! No re-enter after exit (sign that says clearly).

    I enjoyed my time here, very informative, and you can find different trains that used in the past now showcased here. I paid for the mini train experience, though the train is quite small for adults, still a very good experience 😂

    So apparently once you buy a ticket and go in ,and you come out and want to go in again, you have to buy another ticket to go in. Overall it's good but I wish they would tell me that I can't go back inside once I've come out.

    No food or drink allowed. Within walking distance from station. Have mini train ride for kids (or adults) with reasonable price. Would be great if they can include some contents in English.

    Great place for families. Kids love it. They can learn about train, ride ones, watch movies and many other fun things. They also offer temporary exhibition, such as: Doraemon and Anpanman shows and Shinkalion 4d movie. Close to mojiko station, definitely a must visit if you bring kids and they like trains. Entrance fee is not expensive too.

    Entrance ticket is cheap, there is mini train if you want to ride (another payment). The diorama is great.

    Great experience n knowledge about trains in the past. Is not a big area to walk around but is a good place for kids to know everything about trains..

    A bit small, has a couple activities but otherwise not that great. Train rider simulator (you control accelerator and brake, has scoring system). Panorama display with video and moving toy trains.

    Interesting little train museum. Plenty of old engines to look at and a few you can get inside.

  • 5/5 Devita T. 11 months ago on Google

    Size is not that big as you expect for 'railroad' museum. But you can see the history and real items of Kyushu railroad. 6 or more train(real ones on the rail) was there and hop in available. Right next to Mojiko(もじこ) station.

    very nice museum and have small trains to drive on rail. My son played 3 times and unfortunately the green yufuyin train was not in service that day. The train simulator also good and long driving time. Worth to go and explore some retired Japan trains. Before leaving we bought some train socks for our boy.

    Fun outing for the kids esp being able to go inside the driving compartment of some of the older trains and a miniature track where they can drive mini trains around a track. For the real train enthusiast, I think there will be just enough there to see the history of train development in Japan but probably find the specimen a little lacking.
