The Train and Bus Museum at Miyazakidai has been renovated and re-opened in February 2016!
It is beautiful and clean – a wonderful place for toddlers to run around and climb on board a big range of buses, trams and trains.
There can be quite a long queue for the attractions if you go on the weekend, but my kids were just happy to have the freedom to literally run around and enjoy jumping on and off the buses.
Highly recommend visiting this museum if:
- You have toddlers
- It is extreme weather – i.e. too cold/ too hot/ too wet to stay outside
- You want a place to hang out for an hour so your kids can freely run around in a safe and relatively enclosed area
See my video below for a sneak peek!
- Cost: Adults 200yen, kids >3yrs 100yen, kids under 3yrs are free
- Address: 2-10-12 Miyazakidai, Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki-shi
- Hours: 10am-4:30pm (closed Thursdays

Very cheap – 200yen for adults and 100yen for kids over 3
A bit of history!
Watching the model trains
Huge crowd at the bus simulator (seems to be more adults than kids! ha)
Practicing in the bus driver’s seat
Gift shop is fantastic. Lots of trains and shinkansen gifts for the kids in a range of prices

I am so glad I found this website. Husband and I are traveling to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto in December for the first time with our 2 boys who are so much into trains and buses! I bet they will love this place.
