The Kyoto Railway Museum is amazing! As soon as I entered, the retro and modern design grabbed me. There are a lot of exhibits, from old steam locomotives to Shinkansen models. The interactive experience area is full of fun, and the children had a lot of fun. The staff is enthusiastic and professional. Although I don’t understand, I feel that the popular science is in place. It is very suitable for bringing children to learn knowledge
The Railway Museum is really interesting. Compared with the domestic ones, there are many places to operate. Everyone will consciously queue up, and the experience will be better. You need to make an appointment one day in advance to drive the Shinkansen. The children like it very much.

I went there on the same day and could buy it on the same day. I could buy it whenever I wanted. It was very convenient. I went to the counter to exchange the QR code for the paper ticket and used it. I watched the dolphin show in the morning, which was pretty good. I ate a giant salamander popsicle. There were many cute dolls and toys in the store when I went out.
Went with my daughter and we both enjoyed the experience very much. The giant salamanders were very interesting. Great collection of jellyfish.

Saint Seiya, Slam Dunk, none of these... Mainly ninja and samurai themes, Edo period architecture, and a lot of content about Kamen Rider. The place is very small, but the service is enthusiastic. Many people rented Japanese costumes to take photos. There are not many Chinese people. Bring your kids there. You can rent a ninja outfit for 1,000 yen, buy a headscarf and wear it, and you can shoot Jay Chou's "Ninja" MV.
Visiting Toei Studio Park was so surreal because you are able to visit a movie set where they shoot their films and shows. It's actually the most enjoyable part because you got to see how the set all look like and be amazed how they made this place and even bring it back.

Japan must go. The scenery is beautiful, especially in autumn. The air in the mountains is fresh and the leaves are beautiful in different colors. There are many attractions in the park, and the day is very tight.
Record of the late autumn trip in Kansai in November 2019~ As soon as you come out of Arashiyama Station, you will see Arashiyama Park. Arashiyama Park seems to have few people, maybe the park is more scattered. Arashiyama Park seems to have boating and other projects, which can enjoy the full view of Arashiyama. Since we did not take Arashiyama Park as the main attraction, we did not study the route facilities of the park, but rushed past it and rushed directly to the next attraction. If you have time, Arashiyama Park is still worth stopping and appreciating. You can choose to take a short break here. Breathe in the fresh air, stroll leisurely, and enjoy the full-frame landscape of the surrounding mountains and rivers. The continuous white clouds also add a poetic and picturesque feeling. A few steps from Arashiyama Park is the Togetsukyo Bridge. After crossing the bridge, it is the crowded commercial street.
