Insider Tips

  • Closure Days: Check the museum’s own website for closure dates before you travel, since it closes on some weekdays without much advance notice.
  • Simulator Reservation: Reserve the train driving simulator online ahead of your visit; walk up slots fill fast and a reservation is required to ride.
  • Language: Download a translation app before you go, since most exhibit placards inside are labelled in Japanese only.
  • Timing: Visit on a weekday if your schedule allows; weekends bring school groups and families that make popular exhibits harder to reach.
  • Re-entry: Hold onto your ticket for your whole visit, you will need to show it again to staff if you step out and come back in.

Entry & Services:
