Retro Trains Connect Present and Past

Tsuyama is a rail lover's dream destination. Visit the Tsuyama Rail Educational Museum to learn more about rail history and science. Featuring a rare roundhouse and many vintage locomotives, the nostalgic rail travel of yesteryear comes alive. Rail fans will also love Mimasaka Takio Station, a beautifully-preserved wooden station that still serves commuters. Stop out at the stone Matsuboki Bridge for a great place to take train photos.
