A boys’ paradise of sights, sounds and smells. Girls seemed to enjoy it, too. Opened in 1972 on the 100th anniversary of Japanese rail service, Umekoji, next to a large park west of Kyoto Station, was the first SL museum in Japan. The admission is Â¥400 for adults (Â¥100 for students) and Â¥200 (Â¥100) to ride the SL at 11:00, 13:30 and 15:30. website.
