Excellent place... especially if you’re into model trains. Went during the weekday and it was super quiet. If you’re able to sign up for a slot to drive the simulator... do so!! The staff was super nice and helpful as well.

Not a huge venue but the quality is very high. Handmade models on display are exquisitely done. All by one man too if my translations were correct. Models were not only Japanese but also European. If anything mostly European. There are two large working layouts. One in O and the other in HO. Wasn't too busy so didn't need to fight for position for good viewing or photo taking. Some intractive displays as well. Thomas the tank engine also has a home here so kids will enjoy.

Very well curated layout. Great place to see the work that one man can do. Very nice place for kids, too.

Beautiful collection of model trains. It's amazing that Hara had so many in his possession. It is a small museum, so if you are limited with your budget (not expensive, but in terms of price and the size of the exhibit, some may find it has less bang for their buck if in a larger family/group). Nice area for kids to play with trains and babies to crawl around and stretch their legs. If you are a train enthusiast or have a little one that loves trains, definitely a must see. If you aren't interested in model trains at all, you could skip it. But yes, I love miniatures!!!

This place is AMAZING! The staff are polite and friendly and there is a lot of train exhibits. The massive working model railway set is huge and it blew my mind!

If you're into model railways then look no further. Hara Model Railways is a great place to learn about the history of trains in Japan. They have two model railways, one of which is a diorama of Yokohama. I highly recommend the virtual train driver experience which lets you drive the model train using controls from a real train.

Great place for model train lovers. Tend to gear more towards older trains and trams. Lack a little bit of interactive interaction with kids.
