This brand new museum was pretty cool with dozens of trains on display including bullet trains, suburban trains and around a dozen fully restored steam engines. Spread over 3 levels there were heaps of interactive displays and outdoors you could explore a old railway station and even go on a steam engine ride. Being a public holiday here in Japan today the place was busy as with kids having a ball. The gift shop was bedlam and just about impossible to get to the exit.
The video below is taken from the viewing platform on top of the museum where you had a great view of the different tracks leaving Kyoto for Osaka.
