Miniature Masterpiece! Narrow Gauge Model Train Festival 2025 in Tokyo [4K]
Thank you for always choosing Choo-Choo Travel. Introducing the Light Rail Art Festival! Today I’m heading to a model railway event in Tokyo. We open at 11:00 AM. Cotton Merchants’ Hall at Bakuroyokoyama Station I think I’ll make it. Let’s proceed to the reception desk. ??? This was a bedding exhibition… This time it seems certain! Wow! So many people are visiting! True to its name, the Light Railway Art Festival features primarily small-scale vehicles. It looks great in the layout too. You can feel the attention to detail. The feel of transporting lumber is interesting too. They appear to be selling original products. It’s fun how they come in all different sizes. Having color samples makes it easier to visualize. Somehow adorable. If it’s not for sale, why not just make it yourself? Whoa! This looks fun!!! This is what makes light rail so appealing, isn’t it? Various vehicles are on display. It never gets boring to watch. It’s nice that it has a distinct worldview. You can really feel the joy in making it! It looks like it’ll be easy to carry around and enjoy. If you know about vehicles, please tell me! Here are many vehicles lined up again. What a uniquely expressive piece! Bomb!? They’re fleeing with their household goods. There are many impactful works. There are many impactful works. Are they all handmade and one-of-a-kind pieces? That’s amazing! This distorted size is interesting, isn’t it? I can’t help but get caught up in it. You can feel the author’s attention to detail. Let’s take a look at another floor. After that, a large crowd poured in in no time. Compact yet impressive dioramas are on display. Is this the Sangi Railway Hokusei Line? This is also a narrow-gauge light railway. It’s great to see such a wide variety of vehicles on display like this. I feel like it’s an unfamiliar vehicle. It is made on top of a rice cracker can. It’s interesting with all the different things going on. The stage is also rotating. This size layout should fit nicely on a desk in the room. Perspective in N gauge and Z gauge? Is this a mine?? !? A strange vehicle passed by. Unbelievably fast. You guys are amazing! Every piece is adorable. Autumn leaves! So what’s going on is… It’s simple, but interesting. How adorable! Everyone is truly skilled! What is this…!? You are showing us the back side. The fallen vehicles also add a nice touch. Huh? The contents are gone!? It’s heartwarming to watch. We’re descending a bumpy mountain. And then we climb again. Wow, I can’t help but stare at it. I wonder how it works. It’s moving extremely slowly. Wow, that’s deep. Works with a mining theme are interesting. Shrewd, This is also a cute vehicle. Does it actually exist? A variety of vehicles are on display. The layout from a while back is also very interesting. It is very well made. I want one. You all are very good at creating works! I want to build something of this size at home too. But I think it’s going to be quite difficult. This roof is also unique and cute. Wow! The autumn leaves are so beautiful! This one is also very well made! Is this tree also real? The hydrangeas also look real. There are a lot of unusual vehicles running. Compact and interesting. It says “Please look from below” Is it about the light? You can tell from the size of the people that it’s a very small vehicle. This looks like a painting in a frame… It only seems to move while you’re pressing it. It’s like a moving painting! I think I’m getting hooked on the world of light railways. Will this also work? Wow! It worked with sound! Is this not a real tree? Oooooh!! I’m back. I wonder if it will switch back automatically? It looks like it’s driving automatically. Is the green light important? Is it a signal? Well, this is Plarail It seems like it, but it’s not. Is it running on batteries? The connector is also interesting. The size also seems a little small…but maybe that’s just my imagination. Wow, this is interesting. If it doesn’t exist, make it. Amazing! W-Where is this…?!?!? The vehicle is running at full speed before being painted. interesting!! This time it’s Lego! The bridge is amazing! Of course, light railways are no slouch either. Lego is a unique kind of fun! The semaphore signal is functioning. I think it would be difficult because, as a general rule, it is forbidden to modify Lego parts. But it’s very well made! You’ve created a variety of vehicles! This one is big too! This time the theme is “Taiwan”! Taiwan’s light railway? The way the wheels move is unique. It runs very smoothly. This is also an interesting vehicle. The steam locomotive is also faithfully reproduced. The Taiwanese atmosphere is recreated. Oh, this is a train from the recently opened Taiwan Railway Museum! I think people in Taiwan would be happy to see this. If anyone knows more about the vehicle, please let me know! You can enjoy it. You can feel the attention to detail. Is this also Lego? The trolley is transported semi-automatically. It looks like the trolley is being moved by moving the rope here. The weights are also Lego. It’s a pretty interesting system. Since it’s an analog device, I’m happy when it works well. Now, we’ve come up another floor. This was a slightly larger layout. It runs through the world of Japan’s four seasons. Is this the vehicle that ran on Ikaho? A similar vehicle was also on display in Hokkaido. Is it common to open up the engine compartment? This is a light railway vehicle. The dirtiness gives it a nice flavor. Are these stones now being transported by truck? The autumn foliage zone is also beautiful. This one looks so real with a person inside! Cherry blossoms also look good. The female students waiting at the railroad crossing also create a nice atmosphere. The overall picture looks like this. I also like the feeling of overhead wires. It feels like riding through the changing seasonal scenery of old-fashioned Japan. There were a variety of vehicles running. A cute vehicle. This looks like a rural garage. Is the electricity a little unstable? This shop is also very well recreated! It seems that people were moving around at this point as well. The tank also appears to be movable. It seems like the power isn’t flowing properly so I’m checking the back. There are so many wires!! This is a big problem. There were a lot of models of this size on this floor. It looks like it would be easy to carry people, which is great. I can feel your love for light railways. Is this N gauge? Is this a test vehicle? It’s amazing how the cars are consistent with the era. Time passes slowly. Looking at these tea fields, I wonder if this is Shizuoka? There are also a lot of cameras here. The sense of speed is also good. It’s well made. Wow, amazing! They’re all so cool. It would also be nice if it could go back and forth automatically. The uniformity of the coloring is also great. This is also unified. This appears to be partially open. The layout diagram has been released, so I guess things will move towards completion little by little from now on. Partial opening is also good. This one also has its own unique touch. It has an Asian feel to it. Is it carrying sugarcane? It looks like a fun atmosphere. The menu said it had an Indonesian/Okinawa-style image. A steam locomotive runs here. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will know straight away. Cute vehicles. An old man is sitting in the back seat. Oh no. Is it a streetcar? We will run through the old scenery. It definitely feels more realistic when there’s a person riding it. The townscape also has an atmosphere of a bygone era. There is also a shrine. This view is very beautiful. It makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Oh, this one has sound too. There are a lot of cute vehicles. Wow! It’s even more fun when the sound is integrated. The view seen through the gap is everyday life itself. I’d like to see it up close. I also like the idea of turning an abandoned car into a home. Showa era Japan is recreated. Another vehicle also arrived. Is it a bad connection? Aaaaahhh!!! A major accident has occurred! It seems that it didn’t turn out to be a big deal. Ah… Anyway, there were some fantastic layouts. How was it this time? I hope you enjoyed this video too. We look forward to seeing you again on our next ride! Thank you!
This time, we infiltrated the “Light Railway Model Train Festival 2025” held in Tokyo!
The Light Railway, or Narrow Gauge, refers to small trains with a narrow track width. This event is a magnificent collection of artistic model works, all overflowing with passion and dedication for these tiny trains and their detailed layouts (dioramas).
In this video, we tour a wide variety of unique creations, from humorous works built on top of a senbei can (rice cracker tin), to intricate dioramas reproducing the four seasons of Japan and scenes from overseas.
You must see the moving Narrow Gauge trains made with LEGO models, the Taiwan-themed narrow gauge diorama, and the automatic trolley transport system!
Come and witness the surprising depth of model railroading and the infectious passion of the creators!

We also recommend this! こちらもおすすめ! अनुशंसित भी! Juga direkomendasikan! Auch empfehlenswert! 이쪽도 추천! 還推薦!

Amazing video 😍😍😍
軽便鉄道がテーマであればなおさら、どれだけスロー運転が効くか、ですね。
動力ユニットもその辺進化していて、映像でもそれが演出に寄与している事がうかがえますが、
まだかなりの暴走運転もみられますね笑
軽便鉄道はいいな。。様々の形の車両がたくさん走って、いいですね。
This festival was amazing! I was mesmerized, smiling and wide-eyed from the beginning to the end of the video. All of the mini dioramas, vehicles and layouts were incredibly creative and beautiful. I could spend many happy hours enjoying all of their wonderful details. Thank you for your great camera work and close up views which really brought the action to life. Some of my favorite views were the SL and caboose at 22:55, the trolley with passengers at 36:50 and the diorama at 39:00. I hope to be able to attend this event one day. I’ll look forward to watching your next train adventure! Arigatougozaimasu! 🚂🚃🚃
I added 570 HYPE points to this video. I hope it will help bring more viewers to your wonderful channel. 😊
I swear WHY DO I MISS ALL THE RAIL EVENTS???
今回はより出展者販売者の幅が広がった印象でしたね。
従来のナローゲージの製品はブラスがメインで、今回もそれらは健在でしたが、いつからかレーザーカットによるシャープなペーパーによるストラクチャや車両も出始め、数年前より3Dプリンターによる出力により、これまで決して敷居が広いとはいえなかったこのジャンルが、スケールも参加者の年齢層も大きく広がったと思いました。
最高ですね👍小さい車両なのにロケットスタートじゃなくてスローが効くのが凄い!
I love more choo choo travel you're going to be 100 young men
wonderful all!!! any info about locos and cars at 25.34? (believe tomy plarail)
Wow, absolutely interesting layouts! Thanks for this video of this narrow gauge models! 🙂
ナローと路面はレイアウトあってこそですね。
I have really enjoyed your video
And it really helps me with my recovery
From my brain tumour and stroke
As I try to get back to my modelling
I mention my illness
So that you know who is watching and why
This became a project for me
To inform you utube hobbiest how your video is helping the disabled
Thank 😊
🤩🤩🤩
This is so cool!
