Attraction inventory recommendation

Maglev Train Railway Pavilion

Definitely the most stylish and immersive exhibition hall in Nagoya! Not only are there static displays in the pavilion, but each car allows you to walk in and admire the cabin design. From ancient nostalgia to the latest Shinkansen, seeing trains from different eras with your own eyes, the metal texture is super shocking, it feels like entering a small railway museum.

Active Shinkansen Display: It is most recommended to be sure to walk into the Shinkansen carriage and test the difference from the regular train. The Shinkansen has always been known for its high-speed comfort, with almost no shaking when you sit on it. Some of the models on display in the museum are currently in service across Japan, which is perfect for taking pictures!

Retired classic trains: If you want to feel the nostalgic atmosphere of Japanese railways in the 1970s and 1980s, take a closer look at the old seats, retro windows, and take photos in the carriage to find the ancient taste.

Shinkansen simulated driving: Be sure to spare some time to play a simulated driving, rarely can sit in the driving seat pretend to be the driver, watch the dashboard reach forward at high speed! Moderately difficult, perfect for families, railway fans.

High-speed train model exhibition: The exhibition hall has been displaying two high-speed train models, super detailed! Both adults and children are stunned to watch. Not only can they take pictures, but they can also learn a lot about the development of Japanese railways.
