The Railway Museum

The railway museum opened on October 14th of 2007 in Saitama Ōmiya as part of Japan Railways (JR) Group’s 20th-anniversary commemorative project.

The South Building was newly opened in July of 2018, with the permanent exhibition of the main building renewed extensively. Through this renewal, the inside of the building has been divided into stations of 5 categories: carriage, history, work, science, future, changing the museum to tell the rich story of the relationship of humans and railways from a unique and diverse perspective.
