INFO

During winter, most of the outdoor exhibition vehicles in the main building are covered with blue tarps as a snow protection measure, and are therefore not viewable. Megumi Matsumoto served as the image character for the opening of the former Otaru Transportation Memorial Museum. The mail car section of Kihauni 25 1 is currently under construction and is inaccessible. Since 2008, there has been a restaurant on the premises utilizing a JNR Suha43 series passenger car and a JNR Waf29500 series freight car. "Ristorante Treno," an Italian restaurant, relocated from Takashima, Otaru City, to the museum grounds in response to a restaurant operation solicitation by the museum, subsequently closing on November 3rd, 2021. From spring 2022 to October 2023, a cafe called "Haru no Chi Hare." occupied the space.
