Tsuruga Railway Museum (Former Tsuruga Port Station Building)

Overview

The Tsuruga Railway Museum was built as one of the symbols of the "Tsuruga Kirameki Minato-haku 21" (Tsuruga Sparkling Port Expo 21) held in 1999. Faithfully recreating the former Tsuruga Port Station, it's a precious facility preserving the vibrancy of that era. This station building was bustling with passengers as a terminal for the Eurasian International Connecting Train, linking to European countries via the Trans-Siberian Railway. The museum boasts exhibits featuring photos, documents, and models, allowing visitors to learn about Tsuruga's railway history. Actual tracks, signal lights, and even the uniforms of station staff from that time are on display, giving you a realistic feel for the period. A model train exhibition corner showcases trains that once ran through Tsuruga, providing enjoyment for both children and adults. The Tsuruga Railway Museum is a captivating tourist spot filled with history and romance. We encourage you to visit and experience Tsuruga's railway history firsthand. Incidentally, the Tsuruga Port area is registered as a Minato Oasis, and this facility is one of the constituent facilities of Minato Oasis Tsuruga.
