SCMAGLEV and Railway Park

SCMAGLEV and Railway Park

The Linear Railway Museum is a Japanese museum that showcases the evolution of railway technology and its impact on society. Opened in 2011, it features 39 actual train cars, primarily focusing on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, as well as conventional lines and the world's fastest superconducting maglev. Visitors can observe these vehicles not only from the outside but also from the inside (excluding some parts).

One of the main attractions is the zone operated by JR Central, which showcases the cutting-edge technology of the superconducting maglev. It uses experiential devices and models to explain the principles of operation and levitation. Additionally, a mini-theater offers a simulated experience at a speed of 500 km/h.

Don't miss the one of Japan’s largest railway dioramas, which meticulously recreates the landscape along the Tōkaidō Shinkansen line, allowing visitors to experience a full 24 hours of railway activity. The driving simulator for the Shinkansen “N700” provides a lifelike experience with a full-size driver's cabin, enabling even non-drivers to enjoy the feeling of speed within the exhibition hall.

Visitors are allowed to bring their own meals, but enjoying a bento purchased at the museum inside the N700 series Shinkansen on outdoor display is a special experience. There is also a kid’s space, making it a great place for families to enjoy together.

This museum not only explains technology but also offers a multifaceted look at the cultural and social impacts of railways, making it a venue for knowledge and experiences that can be enjoyed across generations. Discover the allure of new railways at the Linear Railway Museum.
