Aridagawa Railway Park, Railway history museum in Aridagawa, Japan

The Aridagawa Railway Park exhibits a preserved D51 steam locomotive at its entrance, with detailed railway dioramas inside the museum building.

The museum opened in 2010 on the former Arida Railway line, which ceased operations in 2002, preserving the local railway heritage for future generations.

The museum displays numerous artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia from the Arida Railway, documenting the transportation development of the Wakayama region.

The facility operates from 10:00 to 17:00, except Wednesdays and Thursdays, with entrance fees of 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children.

Visitors can experience railway operations through a compressed air system that powers the preserved D51 827 locomotive along a 400-meter track.
