Nagoya City Tram & Subway Museum

The Nagoya City Tram & Subway Museum displays preserved vehicles from different periods of the city's transportation history. The collection includes streetcars and subway trains that visitors can board and explore from the inside.

The museum was established in 2000 on the grounds of a former factory and documents how Nagoya's public transportation evolved over time. The exhibited vehicles span several decades and reveal changes in design and technology.

The trams and subway cars on display show how public transportation shaped daily life for Nagoya residents over the decades. Stepping inside the preserved vehicles gives a sense of how people moved through the city in different eras.

The museum is about a 7-minute walk from Akaiike Station on the Tsurumai Line, making it easy to reach. Entry is free for everyone, and the location is accessible to visitors at standard opening hours.

An interactive subway driving simulator lets visitors experience what it feels like to operate the vehicles themselves. A detailed model railway display showcases miniature versions of Nagoya's notable buildings and street layouts.
