This is a railway museum utilizing the "Former Tsuyama Roundhouse," the second largest in Japan. The sight of steam locomotives and diesel cars, which were once the main players in railway transportation, lined up is spectacular. The "turntable" used to change the direction of locomotives by rotating them still exists, allowing you to see the high level of railway technology of the time. As a spot where you can learn about the history and charm of railways that supported Japan's modernization in a retro atmosphere, it is widely popular among children, adults, and overseas railway fans.
