SCMaglev and Railway Park
リニア・鉄道館
JR Central's railway museum, displaying 39 full-size vehicles from steam locomotives and the 0 Series Shinkansen to the superconducting maglev test train.
The SCMaglev and Railway Park opened in 2011. It is operated by JR Central and located at Kanajo Wharf in Nagoya Port. It displays 39 real vehicles, including the C62 steam locomotive, which set a world record, the superconducting maglev test train MLX01-1, the 300X, which reached 443 km/h, and Shinkansen trains from the 0 Series to the N700 Series. There is also one of Japan's largest railway dioramas, a Shinkansen driving simulator (by lottery, with an extra fee) and a superconducting maglev experience. Adult admission is about 1,000 yen, and the park is closed on Tuesdays (moved if a public holiday falls on that day). From Nagoya Station, take the Aonami Line for about 24 minutes to its terminus, Kanajo-futo Station, then walk about 2 minutes. LEGOLAND Japan is nearby.
