Japan Railway Enthusiast’s Paradise: Diorama Kyoto Model train Museum & Scenic Railway Adventure

Thank you for riding with Choo-Choo Travel! In this video, we visit one of Japan’s most iconic cities, Kyoto, known for its rich history and beautiful scenery. Our journey took us to “Diorama Kyoto Japan,“ the largest railway diorama in Western Japan. This museum offers an incredible experience with a massive diorama and train operation simulators. However, I was disappointed to find that the EF66 diorama operation experience was temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. But thanks to the kind staff, I was given a special opportunity to see the driver’s cab up close! (Please note that this was a rare exception, so let’s not pressure the staff for special access.) For lunch, I enjoyed Kyoto’s specialty, Yuba Zaru Udon, and later, I hopped on the Sagano Scenic Railway’s “Rich Car,“ an open-air train that offers breathtaking views of the lush green Arashiyama area. It was a delightful and memorable day, and I’m excited to share this experience with you all. Please keep in mind that while I strive to provide accurate information, there may be some errors, so feel free to leave corrections in the comments.
