This hands-on museum for parents and children is located in Higashiyama, the home of Okayama Electric Tramway. In a space designed by Eiji Mitooka, you can enjoy Plarail and exhibits, and on weekends you can even enjoy a ride on the Okayama Electric Tram Chuggington Train.
The Okaden Chuggington Museum is a railway museum renovated by Eiji Mitooka in a corner of a former train depot and factory built in 1924. It features a variety of playful exhibits, including a detailed model of MOMO, a mini theater, a wooden pool, and a Plarail area, all carefully crafted with materials and at eye level for children. The museum is immersed in the world of Chuggington, and is packed with features that will have even adults taking photos.
The sign is the "Okayama Chuggington Train," which departs from Okayama Station. The train consists of two cars, the red Wilson and the blue Blue Star, and the mini events hosted by the train crew are popular. Regular tickets include museum admission and a one-day streetcar pass. The interior, designed by Mitooka, a leading figure in railway design, is also worth checking out.
[Trivia]
- Eiji Mitooka is the designer behind JR Kyushu's rolling stock and Okayama Electric Railway's MOMO. The "Mitooka style" shines through in every detail of the museum and train.
