Enjoyable Time At The Tetsudō Hakubutsukan (Railway Museum)

The Tetsudō Hakubutsukan or the Railway Museum is an interactive museum. There are plenty of exhibits that can teach us about all things railway and how it evolves throughout history.

The Museum had different zones for exhibits; History, Learning, Entrance, Park, Collection and North Wing.

For us, after spending a grand time checking out the trains on display, going into each of them, we went to the Learning Hall.

Raimie had fun checking out all the exhibits and being a train driver at the Learning Hall. Children will not be bored spending a day here, that I can tell you.

Plenty of interactive display to show how trains work so it was such a learning experience not only for children but for adults too!
There's a mini operating train area outside that you can ride for 200yen. We took the free mini Hayate train instead. The staff was sporting enough to pose for photos with visitors.

There were a souvenir shop and restaurants inside the museum but they were so packed with people, we decided against buying anything.

Why is it that souvenir shops in Japan are always so packed and Japanese shop for souvenirs like there's no tomorrow?
