Keio Rail-Land, Railway museum in Hino, Japan.
Keio Rail-Land is a railway museum in Hino with five vintage train cars, driving simulators, and indoor play areas spread across two floors. The exhibits showcase operational trains, technical equipment, and detailed models of the Keio railway line.
The museum opened in 2000 as a way for the Keio Electric Railway Group to share its railway heritage with the public and preserve regional train history. It grew into a center for understanding rail travel in this area.
The museum displays the history of the Keio Railway through detailed dioramas and models that show how the line connected the region. Visitors can see how train travel became part of daily life here and what role it played in the city's growth.
The museum sits right next to Tama-Dobutsukoen Station, making it easy to reach by train. Plan to spend two to three hours exploring the exhibits and trying out the simulators.
Visitors can operate train simulators using actual training software employed by professional conductors, complete with a large screen and authentic controls. This experience reveals how complex running a train actually is.
