The Kyoto Railway Museum is amazing! As soon as I entered, the retro and modern design grabbed me. There are a lot of exhibits, from old steam locomotives to Shinkansen models. The interactive experience area is full of fun, and the children had a lot of fun. The staff is enthusiastic and professional. Although I don’t understand, I feel that the popular science is in place. It is very suitable for bringing children to learn knowledge
The Railway Museum is really interesting. Compared with the domestic ones, there are many places to operate. Everyone will consciously queue up, and the experience will be better. You need to make an appointment one day in advance to drive the Shinkansen. The children like it very much.

I went there on the same day, I can buy it on the same day, it is very convenient, I can use it to change the QR code at the counter to change the paper ticket. I saw the dolphin show in the morning. It was not bad. I ate a big scorpion popsicle. There are many cute doll toys in the store.
Went with my daughter and we both enjoyed the experience very much. The giant salamanders were very interesting. Great collection of jellyfish.

Saint Seiya, Slam Dunk, none of these... Mainly ninja and samurai themes, Edo period architecture, and a lot of content about Kamen Rider. The place is very small, but the service is enthusiastic. Many people rented Japanese costumes to take photos. There are not many Chinese people. Bring your kids there. You can rent a ninja outfit for 1,000 yen, buy a headscarf and wear it, and you can shoot Jay Chou's "Ninja" MV.
Visiting Toei Studio Park was so surreal because you are able to visit a movie set where they shoot their films and shows. It's actually the most enjoyable part because you got to see how the set all look like and be amazed how they made this place and even bring it back.
