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 on 14 October 1983 in the former Niitsu branch of the Niigata Railway Hospital, after the hospital closed in March 1982. It moved on 1 April 1998 to the former Niigata Railway Training Institute site, which the city of Niitsu had bought in 1997. In 2005 the city merged into Niigata and the museum took its present name.

The museum's name comes from Niitsu, a town built around its rail yards and workshops. The station-area satellite is nicknamed "Teishaba", a word for a stopping place chosen by public vote in 2013. Around Niitsu Station, a driving wheel of C57 locomotive No. 149 and a level-crossing alarm stand as street monuments.

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.

The museum holds seven preserved full-size rail vehicles, including the lead car 221-1510 of a 200 Series Shinkansen set in its original livery, moved in overnight in May 2013, and C57 steam locomotive No. 19, long based at Niitsu depot. The 200 Series ran from 1982 until spring 2013.
