SCMAGLEV and Railway Park
Opened March 14, 2011, this establishment introduces the evolution of high-speed railway technology through train car exhibits from local trains to the Superconducting Maglev train with a focus on the Tokaido Line bullet trains.
You can learn about the workings of railroads and the progress of their histories through things like detailed railroad dioramas and bullet train driving simulators.
