Niitsu Railway Museum and Niigata Prefectural Botanical Garden Tour

A full day in Niitsu, Akiha Ward, Niigata City—known as the "Railway Town"—where you can meet real SL steam locomotives and Shinkansen trains. After enjoying the vehicle exhibits at the Niitsu Railway Museum, you'll be surrounded by tropical flowers beneath the large glass dome of the Niigata Prefectural Botanical Garden. Experience art at the adjacent Niitsu Art Museum, and wrap up with souvenir flower shopping at Niitsu Flower Land. This greedy itinerary keeps both train-loving children and flower-loving adults happy all day long.
