The Hightech History of Maglev Trains at the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park
Central Japan Railways—which operates throughout the heart of Japan and is the company that created the Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train—presents their Railway Museum. Experience the history of trains in Japan, starting with steam engine locomotives, electric railcars, the original bullet trains, and the superconducting maglev trains set to debut in 2027. The museum also hosts Japan's most extensive railway diorama and several train simulators—regular and bullet— that guests can enjoy.
