It was a trip to Nagoya and friends. Just to share some of the places that we visited 🥰 We visited Nagoya Castle, which was originally built in 1612.

It was partially destroyed during World War II but has since been restored. ⏰9:00 AM - 4:30 PM 💰¥500 📍1-1 Honmaru, Naka Ward, Nagoya, Aichi 460-0031, Japan We also visited Atsuta Shrine.

Japan is famous for many things and its incredible high speed rail network is one of those things. The Shinkansen system gave birth to what we all now know as high speed rail, this museum gives you a fascinating glimpse into the history of the system and also the future in the form of the Maglev. The entrance hall contains three full scale trains and a big screen showing the history of the Shinkansen, if you head up the stairs to the viewing platform you can see the whole screen. Then proceed to the main hall where there are numerous trains from Japan’s history, all immaculately restored. The highlight for me was the huge model railway that incorporates Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo - so many trains and so many landmarks! It has high speed rail, metro and suburban rail - all bustling away like clockwork You can also do the train driver simulator for an extra fee and there’s also a small kids play area inside ( train themed of course!) It’s at the end of the Aonami line which you can get from the back of Nagoya station, it’s about half an hour and it’s the last stop. It’s the same stop as Legoland, it’s called Kinjo Futo. It is open 10:00 - 17:30 and is closed every Tuesday, this is good as most museums and galleries close on a Monday - so I’d you’re out of things to do in a Monday this is the place to go! It’s wine 1000¥ / £5 for adults and around 200¥ / £1 for children. #getgoing2025 #japan #nagoya #trains #transport

The trains are lined up side by side, and it's even more impressive in person than in photos! There are many nostalgic trains on display, and some you can even go inside, making it enjoyable for adults as well! There are also railway dioramas and a paid driving experience corner, so if you have time, why not give it a try? Definitely worth a visit! 📍 3-2-2 Kinjofuto, Minato-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 💰 Admission: 1000 yen

A large warehouse filled with trains from different eras, sure to delight railway enthusiasts. The museum offers JR history presentations, interactive science experiences, train driving simulators, a restaurant, and a gift shop.

#wheretogo When visiting Nagoya, Japan, one of the top unique attractions is the SCMaglev and Railway Park. Located about half an hour’s train ride from Nagoya station, the SCMaglev and Railway Park is a Railway Museum featuring many railway vehicles and other exhibits. Highly recommended especially if visiting as a family or with kids! My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

If you want to see the development of the railway technology throughout the years, this is where you go. SCMAGLEV and Railway Park is a collection of trains owned by the Central Japan Railway Company. It houses 39 full-size railway vehicles, a bus exhibit, simulators and dioramas. They also have miniatures of the big cities in Japan, such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. This is such an educational place. Great to visit during the weekend! #wintergetaway
