Transportation Bureau Exhibition Center

The Transportation Bureau Exhibition Center is a transport museum in Tokyo's business district that documents the history of public transit through models, photographs, and original objects. It traces the development from early railway networks to the complex metro systems that serve the metropolitan area today.

The museum opened in 1996 and documents the transformation of Tokyo's transit systems, beginning with early railways in the 19th century. It tracks how these networks expanded and modernized to support the city's massive urban growth.

The center shows how Tokyo's residents depend on and shape their relationship with the public transit network through daily use. The displays reveal how transportation infrastructure has become woven into the fabric of urban life here.

The museum is located near Tokyo's central railway stations and is easily accessible by public transit. It offers educational programs for groups and maintains regular daytime hours, making it convenient for visitors planning a stop during their stay.

The center has operating simulator equipment that lets visitors pilot different types of Tokyo's transit trains themselves. These hands-on stations are memorable because they offer insight into what train operators actually do and the precision required.
