If you have a child (or no child), the museum is quite good place to visit in Kitakyushu. You can see a century long history of Japan and also step on real trains that used to be running across the nation in the past.

Many old models of train are available, refreshing the memories of our oldies. Interesting and informative to kids. Have small trains to ride and mock driving games. The kids really enjoyed.

It is really brief, a few train cars being demonstrated only and a brief introduction of Kyushu's railway development in the main building. There's not so much to show as the one in Omiya since it's focus on Kyushu. The gift shop is large and...More
