This museum is easy to reach - we got a limited express train from Shinjuku, and then the New Shuttle for the short distance from Omiya station to the museum, using our Suica cards for both legs of the journey. We could also have used our Suica cards to enter the museum, but we chose to buy separate tickets, which, sadly, we had to hand back when we left. The museum is well laid out and has many innovative displays as well as plenty of ordinary static ones - the locos and carriages are the real thing, though there are also small models on display. There are interactive scientific displays for children, a mini bullet-train ride and other hands-on activities. We each bought a very nice lunchbox, though we could have chosen to eat at a cafe with a choice of dishes. There was some English information available, but it would be better with more. I gather the museum is trying to attract more foreign tourists, so perhaps the availability of English will be considered. Overall, an excellent museum with exhibits of interest to everyone, not just railway fans.
