京都鉄道博物館行って良かったよ
Arigatougozaimasu for this very enjoyable visit to the Kyoto Railway Museum. The guided tour was interesting and informative, and it's great that the museum offers it free of charge. Loved the exterior colors of the Shonan train, and its interior design was so beautiful. The SL garage and turntable experience was sugoi. I'm always delighted to see the joy and excitement of the children as they explore the museum. I'm glad that you'll be posting a second part to your visit to the museum. Tanoshimdesu! 🚅🚂👍
Splendido museo come tutti i treni esposti ❤❤ davvero originale il vasetto con dentro il polpo 😊😊
Molto belli anke i plastici
Di notte il museo e ancora piu bello
