Tegarayama Exchange Station, Railway museum in Tegarayama Central Park, Japan.
Tegarayama Exchange Station is a railway museum housed in a converted station building in Himeji with multiple exhibition halls. The collection displays original train equipment, technological displays, and materials documenting the railway history of the area.
The building began as an active railway station before being converted to a museum in 2011, preserving the transportation heritage of the region. This transformation saved the structure as a testament to how trains shaped Himeji's development.
The exhibits show how trains shaped everyday life in Japan and how the railway system connected communities across the region. Visitors can see how transportation development influenced the way people live and move through their cities and towns.
The museum sits within a park with accessible paths and clear layout, making it straightforward to navigate the exhibitions. Nearby facilities like Himeji City Aquarium offer options to extend your visit with other activities in the area.
The museum uses the original station building itself as part of the display, allowing visitors to experience the authentic setting of a working railway station from the past. This approach lets you understand the building and its history together as one integrated experience.
