Niigata City Niitsu Railway Museum, Railway museum in Niitsu, Akiha district of Niigata, Japan
The Niigata City Niitsu Railway Museum is a railway museum displaying locomotives, carriages, and equipment housed across two structures. The collection spans from steam engines to modern train cars, showing the evolution of rail transport.
The museum opened in 1983 within a former railway training facility that had moved to the area following the 1964 earthquake. This relocation made the building available for its transformation into a heritage site.
The collection honors the railway workers and residents who shaped transport in the region. Today, visitors see how trains connected communities and supported local industry over many decades.
The museum is accessible by foot and offers parking facilities for visitors arriving by car. Plan several hours to see both buildings and explore the various train cars and equipment on display.
Visitors can ride on small-scale trains, offering a hands-on experience that brings the trains to life. This interactive element makes the visit memorable and enjoyable for both children and adults.
