Visit the Railway Museum of Japan in Saitama-ken

Hello everyone!
It's me again today. I am Quyet.
Let's talk about Japan again this time 😍.

The great thing about being on Hive is that wherever you are, you can experience every corner of the world through each person's unique writing.

I think it would be a big mistake to ignore this wonderful country so I wanted to share a bit of my knowledge and experience while living in Japan with the wonderful people on Hive.
I think on Hive there will also be many of you who want to learn and visit the "land of the rising sun", right?

Today I will talk about a place related to something familiar and famous in Japan. Looking at this picture, can you guess what it is?

Yes! Exactly what you're thinking. That is the train in Japan.
Almost everyone in Japan rides the train. It is the most popular and public transport in this country. You can almost go anywhere by train. Safe, no dust, your job is just to get on the train, wait and get off the train.
The hardest thing for me was finding the right train I needed. If you are a newbie, it is easy to get confused. But in this article, I will not talk in detail about where to take the train, but I will only introduce a great place for those who are passionate and interested in these electric trains.
That is The Japanese railway museum in Saitama-ken.

If you are a lover of these trams, you will surely wonder how to have modern, beautiful, and high-speed trams like now, how they have developed.
Here will be the perfect place to answer all those questions for you.

I've been here for quite some time. When I first came to Japan, I didn't really have many friends so I went alone. This picture was taken for me by a kind Japanese lady!
There are many people here. I see mainly the elderly, students coming to visit, and even children. The kids seem to really enjoy the train and enjoy climbing on the special train.

This is one of the things that impressed me. It looks so healthy. This is an old locomotive and from my understanding, it dates back to 1912. Here they designed it so that we can look inside and understand its parts. They have postcards with explanations in English so you can understand them.

This is still the train locomotive above when viewed from the front.

This locomotive was manufactured about 30 years ago. I see that the front of this car also has a big light and a front shield. This shield, in my opinion, is used to prevent objects such as rocks, logs, things that can enter the wheel and interfering with the train. It would be dangerous if something big got in while the train was moving, wouldn't it 😊?

The ship below is from the 1930s. I wonder if the two flags were removed when the train was running. Otherwise, I guess it will get dirty or blown away.

Next will be the types of trains that are more similar to today.

Normally it will be very difficult to get close and see with your own eyes the trains like this ❤️.

I was surprised that there were so many children here. I usually think that the kids will like the play areas more and will get bored just watching the trains. On the contrary, the children seem very happy. Maybe one of them will become a train driver in the future.

You can get on the train and see the cockpit where the subway drivers work. I've always wondered what train drivers do. Driving the train is definitely different from other means of transport because trains always go on fixed tracks.

These are The 481 series trains. It was introduced in 1964 for use on Hokuriku Line limited services. In 1964, I wasn't even born yet, but it looked so modern back then.

This is a model of a station.

This is the famous Tokyo Station.

From the outside, it will look like this.

You will really learn a lot about Japanese railways here.
They will introduce staff uniforms, how they drive the train.

Of course, there is no shortage of models of the trains, right?

I guess below is a model of the types of lunch boxes served on train lines over the years. Looks delicious, unfortunately, they are just models.

These must be railway-related tracks. I've never seen them play music on the train. Usually, they just broadcast the announcements of the station staff.

And finally, you'll be given an explanation of how a train in Japan's subway system works one day. Seeing the running models in person is very interesting and easy to understand. You will understand how Japan's railway system works.

To prepare for the trains to run, there are employees who work from one or two in the morning to check the road and the staff who work until eleven or twelve at night. It's a system that runs almost 24 hours at everyone's expense. Japan's railways are famous for their punctuality. True to the minute and they are always proud of it.

So I took you to visit the railway museum. There are many other interesting activities here that I have not mentioned. There are also models of trains in the open air. If you have the opportunity, come to the place to experience it. It will be very interesting.

Thank you for reading the article.
I hope you will like it.
