Kaya Steam Locomotive Square, Railway museum in Yosano, Japan.
Kaya Steam Locomotive Square is a railway museum in Yosano that displays multiple steam locomotives from different eras. The collection includes historical engines from Japan and abroad, arranged in an outdoor exhibition space.
The museum was founded in 1977 at the terminus of a private railway line to preserve that line's history. In 1996 it moved to its current location and has since grown into an important center for local railway heritage.
The place shows how railways connected Japan and shaped its industrial growth over many decades. Visitors can see this history directly through the displayed locomotives and understand the importance these machines held for the nation.
The grounds are easy to visit on weekends and holidays, offering plenty of time to explore the outdoor exhibition. There is a café and shop on site where visitors can relax or purchase railway memorabilia.
A special feature is the café housed in a converted Tokyu train car, bringing an authentic piece of railway tradition to life. This spot combines museum exploration with the experience of sitting inside a historic vehicle.
