Japan can be considered the railway capital of the world; both in terms of the unparalleled expanse of its railway network and the ingenious design behind the world-class Kyoto Railway Museum. This episode of The Wonders of Museums takes audiences on a trip to Kyoto to visit Japan’s largest railway museum.
Highlights of the museum include the first ever 0 series Shinkansen, antique steam engines, bullet trains, and other historic locomotives that demonstrate the development of the Japanese railway. The Kyoto Railway Museum moves beyond an aesthetic appreciation for trains, and instead seeks to provide visitors with a first hand experience about the ingenuity of the railway. The museum features an authentic driving simulator to give visitors a sense of how it feels to drive several types of trains.
The steam locomotive restoration garage and antique roundhouse sheds take visitors back in time to explore the rustic, yet classical age of steam locomotives. What’s more, children will love a closer look at the world’s largest model train set. This attraction combines intricate train models with the majestic scenery of Western Japan to provide a realistic glimpse into the inner workings of the Japanese railway. A behind the scenes tour also sheds light on the secrets behind the exhibit.
How are these massive and stationary trains fit so neatly in the museum?
Which technique did the museum’s architects use to ensure visitors could enjoy the exhibits while also observing real trains in action?
How does the staff operate the model trains? What do they look like up close?
Why is the Kyoto Railway Museum responsible for repairing steam trains?
What professional qualifications are required to become a Shinkansen driver? What scares a Shinkansen driver most–a snowstorm, an earthquake, or a stomach ache?
This episode will provide audiences with an all-new perspective on the operation of the railway.

Steam Locomotive Exhibit Ride at Kyoto Railway Museum, Kyoto | The Real Japan | HD
Steam Locomotive Exhibit Ride at Kyoto Railway Museum, Kyoto | The Real Japan | HD
All aboard! This film follows the journey onboard the steam locomotive exhibit ride at Kyoto Railway Museum in Kyoto.
The original Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum opened in 1972, but was expanded and modernized in 2016, becoming the Kyoto Railway Museum.
For a small additional fee, passengers can ride in cars pulled by one of the actual steam locomotives kept and maintained at the museum. The 1km round-trip takes about 10 minutes, giving visitors a small taste of how it felt to travel by steam locomotive.
The journey exits the railyard on a private track that at first runs parallel with the Tokaido main and shinkansen lines running into Kyoto Station, it then veers off to run alongside Umekoji Park. It then reverses along the track, back to the platform at the Museum.
