Yamanashi Prefectural Maglev Exhibition Center
This is a museum-type facility where visitors can observe a real Maglev traveling at speeds of 500 km/h. On days when test runs are conducted, you can see the Maglev train in action from each floor of the facility. The outdoor terrace on the second floor is a popular photo spot, because you can actually feel the gust of wind when the train goes by at 500 km/h instead of watching from behind the glass.
This place lets you learn all about the Maglev train that goes over 500 km/h!
I took my kid and we explored at a relaxed pace—it took us about two hours to see everything.
There are scheduled demonstrations, ride experiences, and a small play area inside, so the kids were totally entertained the whole time and never got bored.
If you’re lucky, you might even catch the real Maglev train zooming by inside the facility. Pretty cool!
