Saitama Railway Museum main exhibition hall

The Saitama Railway Museum (Tetsudō Hakubutsukan in Japanese) was opened 12 years ago and belongs to a non-profit affiliate of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Its largest hall offers a spectacular view over 36 locomotives and railways cars, and the museum is still considered the first among the 3 great railway museums in Japan (the others are the SCMaglev and Railway Park in Nagoya and the Kyoto Railway Museum).
