A Journey Through the Tracks of Time

#OsakaTrip
In the early morning, I arrived at Osaka Station City, a large complex that combines shopping, dining, and transportation hubs, both modern and vibrant. Standing on the station's skybridge, I watched trains come and go, as if the pulse of Osaka intersected here. I took the opportunity to enjoy a steaming bowl of udon noodles, replenishing my energy for the day's journey. Then, I boarded a train to Kyoto and visited the exciting Kyoto Railway Museum. Inside, the museum houses various trains from steam locomotives to the Shinkansen. Upon entering, I was immediately drawn to the massive SL steam locomotive, almost able to hear the whistle of the past. Walking through the exhibition halls, I stepped into a vintage carriage, sat on the old wooden seats, and imagined how people traveled by train in the past. The most delightful surprise was being able to personally experience the driving simulator and feel the joy of controlling a train. The afternoon sunlight shone on the railway relics displayed outdoors, making this journey through railway history feel even warmer.
