Train Museum

Drew's been dying to go to the train museum in Saitama and we finally made it there on Monday.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but it actually had a very neat set-up.  The museum was filled with trains from different eras in Japanese history.

We were able to try out a few different seat styles.  The super old one was actually made from tatami mats.

Drew had a great time trying out the interactive features of the museum.

Playing with the brake system.

By far his favorite part was driving the train simulator.  The goal was to drive the train to the next stop and be able to stop in the right location at the station.  For never driving a train before, he did pretty well.  Only about 15 meters off the target.

The footage was of the actual train ride to the stations nearby.

On the way home we found a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop.  That was probably my favorite part of the day.
