Yokohama Tram Museum, Tramway museum in Takigashira, Yokohama, Japan

The Yokohama Tram Museum displays seven preserved tram cars along with model train layouts, historical photographs, route maps, and transportation artifacts spanning different decades. The collection shows how the system evolved and operated across the city over time.

Yokohama's tram network started operating in the early 1900s and expanded to cover wide areas over many decades. The museum was founded after the network closed to preserve and document this important part of the city's transportation history.

The tram system was central to how Yokohama developed and connected different neighborhoods for ordinary people. You can see through the exhibits how transportation shaped where communities grew and how residents moved around the city.

The museum sits near a train station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Before your visit, check the opening schedule since the facility has regular days when it is closed to allow time for maintenance.

The museum includes interactive simulator stations where you can control a train with realistic instruments and scenarios. This hands-on experience lets you understand what it felt like to operate the trams that once moved people through the city.
