Another train museum in Tokyo. Adult is 210 yen. Located right below the station. Not all exhibitions have English translations. You have to use QRtranslation to get English translation. You can also observe the passing train from the observatory spot, based on the time schedule of each train. You can also play the train miniature set (i don't know what is it called) by 100 yen for 4 minutes. There are also train simulators if you want to drive the train and bus. They have museum shop inside, too. Overall, a very nice museum for me, although more English translation will be much welcomed.

Very fun museum! First of all the entrance fee is very cheap. Which made it feel like i was entering for free! A lot of fun exhibitions like flipping over a point machine / railway switch or controlling a pantograph and switching on a train's main circuit breaker and see what happens when the "Maskon" is set to power. The staff was also very helpful, specificly with the simulation. They warned me about the oncoming speed restrictions during play. It looked like they enjoyed seeing a foreigner enjoy the simulator! I can reccomend!

(English follows) IC決済も可能で大人200円だったのでふらっと入ったらめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。レトロな列車の中を見れたり、巨大ジオラマ、シミュレータなどかなり充実。大人だけでも平気に1時間はあっという間に潰せます。館員も情熱的で鉄道愛が伝わってきますが、決して上からではなく無知な私達にも丁寧に色々と説明してくださり嬉しかったです。とても癒やされる一時を過ごせたので、200円以上の価値は絶対にあります！ Decided to pay a visit since the entry is only 200yen per adult and the admission can be paid by transport IC card. Turned out to be a gem of a museum. Totally enjoyable even if you are not a train nerd. Even ok for just adults as we saw many other visitors without kids. You can view the insides of retro trains, sit and gaze at the huge model diorama, or hop onto one of the train simulators to test your train driving skills. The museum staff are also very kind and passionate about their specialty - even taking the time to teach novices like us a thing or two about trains that was very interesting. Totally worth the 200yen for a bit of nostalgic tour into railroad transport history.

Small but surprisingly detailed museum, with lots of great exhibits, simulators and models that are perfect for any train geek. This even puts a lot of the larger museums to shame! The staff are incredibly helpful and informative, and there's a very well-stocked gift shop for souvenirs.

It is comparable with tokyo metro museum where the exhibition is really informative and engaging. The simulators and diorama are really fun to play with. All of the exhibition are well kept though the lighting may be dark for some but that gave the feel of old time-y place

2022年1月の日曜日に訪問。 9時57分に到着して、5組くらい並んでいました。 間もなくして10時前に開いたように思います。 開館時間に入場できたことで、各種シミュレーターも待つことなく楽しめました。 11時を過ぎてくるとシミュレーターはそれなりに待ちがあります。 10時に入場して、各種シミュレーター体験、10時30分からのパノラマショー、11時からのSLショータイムを見ることができ、有効な時間を過ごせました。 これで、一巡して、二階の休憩スペースでおにぎりなどを食べてゆっくりすれば、11時半くらいです。 食べ物は売ってないので、中で食べる方は事前に購入することをオススメします。また、再入場できないので、入館前に購入する必要があります。博物館の目の前に6時から開いてるダイエーがあるので、コンビニで買うより安いかと思います。 駅前にマックもありました。 各種シミュレーションは職員の方が付いてくれて、丁寧に教えてくれます。このシミュレーターも無料！ 職員が付いているシミュレーターは都度消毒されています。 乳幼児用の授乳スペースやキッズトイレなどもあります。館内はベビーカーを使えないので、入ってすぐのベビーカー置き場に並べておく感じです。 12時前に帰りましたが、館内はものすごい混雑ということもありません。 帰りの時点で、シミュレーターは5、6人ずつ並んでる感じでした。 3月11日までは中庭の車両は見れません。 入館料が大人200円、子供100円でこれだけ楽しめれば文句の付けようがありません。 ICカードのチャージは出来ないので、事前に駅でチャージしておいてください。現金払いだと10円割高です。
