Ome Railway Park

Overview

Ome Railway Park is a railway park located in Ome City, Tokyo. Opened in 1962 (Showa 37) as part of the Japanese National Railways' 90th-anniversary celebrations, it is now operated by the East Japan Railway Culture Foundation, a public interest incorporated foundation affiliated with JR East. The park displays ten actual railway cars that were once in service, along with a museum housing railway models and documents, and a playground modeled after a steam locomotive. It's a place that offers enjoyment for everyone, not just railway enthusiasts. Highlights include the E10, the last newly built SL of the Japanese National Railways, known for its unique design and operation, and the ED16 DC electric locomotive, a quasi-railway monument that saw its last service on the Ome and Nambu Lines. With children's play equipment, it's also a great park for families. Ome Railway Park is a valuable place to learn about the history and culture of railways, a recommended sightseeing spot for visitors of all ages.
