Subway Museum

Overview

The Subway Museum is a museum where you can experience the history of Tokyo's subway system through actually used vehicles, models, and interactive exhibits. Opened in 1986, it has been loved by many people ever since. Inside, you'll find precious vehicles on display, including the Tokyo Underground Railway 1000 series electric car No. 1001, Japan's first subway car, and the 01 series cars that ran on the Ginza Line. You can even ride in these cars and experience the atmosphere of that era. Furthermore, the driving simulator lets you operate a subway using the actual equipment used by drivers. Sitting in the driver's seat and gripping the wheel will make you feel like a driver yourself. The screen in front of you displays actual routes, providing a realistic driving experience. There are also exhibits where you can learn about the mechanics, construction methods, and operation management of subways. Explained clearly using models and panels, they're easy to understand for both adults and children. In addition, there are plenty of fun things for both kids and adults, such as a diorama of model trains and a subway quiz. The Subway Museum is a place where you can learn about the history of Tokyo's subway system while having fun. Be sure to visit with your family and friends!
