Even if you only have a passing interest in trains (or even none at all!) this is well worth calling into if you're on your way to Fuji. The staff were all very helpful - enthusiastic even to help you get the most from the exhibitions. Great for all ages with some fascinating features - in particular don't miss the superconductivity demonstration with a puck travelling, essentially frictionless, around a looping track. We couldn't time it to be there when they were running tests (check the website for dates) but I expect that would be most impressive - they are aiming for 500km/h running speed. The test track itself will eventually become part of the first section of operational track, linking Tokyo to Nagoya and due to open 2027 - now that's long term planning! If you don't have your own transport then there's a bus that picks up and drops off at the Otsuki rail station.
