Admission and use of the facilities are free, making this a recommended spot for train-loving families with children.

The Retro Train Museum's greatest appeal is its wide range of hands-on activities. In the driving simulator, you can sit in the driver's seat of an actual subway train and drive along Nagoya's lines. It feels like you're driving a real train, a must-see for railway enthusiasts. There are also plenty of other attractions, such as dioramas and exhibits that teach about the history of the subway.

Although the scale is significantly smaller than the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, children around kindergarten age can enjoy themselves, freely operating the steering wheel from the driver's seat and driving the diorama train, making it a fun experience for about an hour.

There is limited parking, so it's best to use public transportation. It's about an 8-minute walk from Akaike Station on the Tsurumai Subway Line.

[Trivia]
The driving simulator uses an actual driver's cab.

[Useful Concerns]
The driving simulator is very popular and can get crowded. We recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare, or on a weekday.
