Japan Railway Enthusiast’s Paradise: Kyoto Railway Museum Adventure

It’s a place that would surprise even Sheldon Cooper. In this video, we venture to Kyoto, a city steeped in Japanese history, to explore its expansive railway museum. The museum is renowned for its vast size and impressive collection, housing a staggering 53 preserved rail vehicles. While the SL Steam Locomotive C62 Type 2 experienced a derailment on January 8, 2024, this footage, captured in April 2023, showcases the lively run of C56 Type 160, radiating vitality. You can purchase admission tickets online, and for those looking to save a bit, utilizing ticket shops and flea market sites near Kyoto Station is a viable option. Booking the railway simulator through the “Asobi View“ website in advance is highly recommended, especially on weekends. The museum boasts a large diorama featuring the Doctor Yellow, an extensive Plarail collection including Thomas, and a review of the on-site cafeteria. Additionally, the video captures the sleek Shinkansen Nozomi and even provides a glimpse of the Twilight Express Mizukaze passing by.
