Issues/Themes

(1) To communicate the progress of high-speed railway technology and its contribution to the society
(2) To create a space where children can learn the railway technology and the relationship between railroads and society.

Space Solution/Realization

(1) The train car's progress and its contribution to the society have been appealed, with 3 symbolic cars that marked the world record of velocity, and 29 meter wide linked video screen. The cars are displayed in "V" shape in cars exhibition area, for a better impression of the progress of high-speed railway technology. Enough space is devoted for a realistic understanding of the technology progress through the comparison of 0 series and 300 series Shinkansen (base, motor, pantograph etc.) Maintenance of cars and railroads is deeply explained, and the people & technology who support the high-speed service are also introduced.
(2) Visitors can not only realize the railway technology with live experience machines, but understand the progress of high-speed railway technology and its relationship with the society, through document and video presentation of historical developement.
