SCMaglev and Railway Park, Nagoya 🇯🇵

#wheretogo When visiting Nagoya, Japan, one of the top unique attractions is the SCMaglev and Railway Park. Located about half an hour’s train ride from Nagoya station, the SCMaglev and Railway Park is a Railway Museum featuring many railway vehicles and other exhibits. Highly recommended especially if visiting as a family or with kids! My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

If you want to see the development of the railway technology throughout the years, this is where you go. SCMAGLEV and Railway Park is a collection of trains owned by the Central Japan Railway Company. It houses 39 full-size railway vehicles, a bus exhibit, simulators and dioramas. They also have miniatures of the big cities in Japan, such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. This is such an educational place. Great to visit during the weekend! #wintergetaway
