Train 1：Omiya

From TOKYO鉄道 RailRoad Museum:Omiya

If your ring finger is longer than your index finger…?

According to a TV program’s research at the railway museum, 49 out of 50 visitors had a longer ring finger than their index finger. A long ring finger is said to indicate an interest in mechanics. This is believed to be an effect of testosterone exposure during embryonic development. Do you believe it?

A must-visit for kids, families, railway fans, and hardcore train otaku!

At the learning zone, you can explore real train parts, model trains, and railway systems to learn about the fundamentals and mechanics of rail transport.

In the history zone, you can get strong emotion you walk through historical locomotives, legendary old trains and Shinkansen models. Kids can also experience the joy of riding the mini-shuttle train, their own special journey into the world of trains.

The train driving simulators, featuring a 100-year-old locomotive, city-runner trains, and Shinkansen, are truly remarkable. You’ll feel like you’re actually in control of the train yourself.
