Located near Kinjō-Futō on the Aonami Line and opened in March 2011, it houses JR Tokai's collection of historic stock.
On 14 March 2011, JR Tokai opened their new Railway Museum as a much more professional and comprehensive version of their previous museum, ‘Sakuma Rail Park’ which had closed some 16 months earlier in November 2009. The museum is adjacent to Kinjō-Futō Station the terminus of the Aonami Line which is
easily accessible from Nagoya Station. Cost of admission is currently Ľ1000 at time of writing. Here is a selection of photographs of some of the exhibits at the museum. For full information, please see the JR Tokai Museum Web Page.
