I visited the "Train and Bus Museum" with my family!

  • Kanagawa
  • Experience Gifu
The Train and Bus Museum is a railroad museum operated by Tokyu Corporation and located in Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki City. It is directly connected to Miyazakidai Station on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line, making it easily accessible and very popular with children who love trains!
■As you proceed along the private path from the station to the museum, you will see a railroad crossing monument in front of the entrance, and the circuit breaker actually moves up and down as the train passes on the elevated bridge in front of you. The Denentoshi Line runs on elevated or underground tracks and there are no actual railroad crossings, so the crossing at the museum is the only crossing in the area.
■To prevent infection, visitors are required to wear masks and to undergo disinfection and temperature check upon entering the museum. Admission is reasonably priced at 200 yen for adults (high school students and older) and 100 yen for children (3 to junior high school students).
Hold up the barcode on your admission ticket to the ticket gate, and off you go!
Series 8090 driving simulator
■First, we recommend that you head to the "Simulator World" information on the first floor and make an advance reservation for the "8090 Series Operation Simulator. This is a full-scale driving simulator that reproduces live-action images and sounds, and there is a charge of 300 yen per ride. Reservations are required on the day of your visit and may close soon, so we recommend making reservations as early as possible. The course and difficulty level can be selected, but it was quite difficult to operate the simulator. The guide, who is a former driver, gave us good advice, and we were able to operate the train and make a safe stop. and "It was difficult, but fun!


■In Simulator World, there is also a "Toyoko Line CG Simulator" and a rare "Bus Driving Simulator" that can be enjoyed by children under elementary school age. These can be used without reservations by standing in line. Also on the floor, there is a Deha 200 type car that was used on the Tamagawa Line in the 1950s, and the actual car is kept in two-car formation. It is a very cute car body.
Next, in "Zone 3450" on the 2nd floor, there is an exhibit of the Deha 3450 that was used on the Tokyu Line, where visitors can experience opening and closing the doors and operating the train. Also on display is a real bogie, which allows visitors to see the wheels in motion.
Tokyu History Panorama Theater
Next, head to "Panorama World" on the 3rd floor. The "Tokyu History Panorama Theater" is located right next to the entrance, and is very popular for its HO-gauge model trains, which are one size larger than N-gauge trains! The program changes depending on the time of day, and model trains run inside the diorama.
N Gauge Park
The "N Gauge Park" is an area where visitors can play with N gauge models, and reservations are required on the day of visit. Visitors can bring their own N gauge or rent one for free. It is very popular because visitors can move trains in a diorama that recreates the Tokyu railway line. Early reservations are recommended!


The "diorama simulator" on the 3rd floor is also very popular. You can drive a model train while watching an image from the driver's seat on the monitor! Around the "diorama simulator" is a panel display on "Train Work," which introduces various jobs at Tokyu Corporation. Please take a look at the panels to help children develop their dreams.
The "DENBUS Shop" offers a variety of goods from Tokyu train goods to Tokyu bus goods and railroad goods, and even after a full day of play, the children could not get enough!

Building B, which was closed, is now being used as the TSO DENBUS Workspace, based on the concept of an exciting amusement shared office for adults. For more information, please visit the website of the Museum of Trains and Buses!
