鉄道博物館:ナイトミュージアムと館内ディナー最高すぎた…！
Hello, it’s TT! We finally went to the Railway Museum that T-chan wanted to visit! And we got a free VISA card invitation to the Night Museum! We booked a room at the nearby Palace Hotel and headed there fully prepared 👍 This time, it seems like VISA has booked the entire place , and there’s a live performance by singing brother Yokoyama Daisuke, and the experience programs that usually cost money are free! I haven’t applied for many card campaigns, but I thought I’d give it a try… I installed the lottery app and headed off , making sure to remember my free admission ticket . I arrived at Omiya Station a little early to check into my hotel before going to the Railway Museum , and it was just lunchtime when I discovered a section of the station that really caught my eye: Omiya Yokocho, from north to south, is packed with B-grade gourmet food from all over the country . It has a real Showa-era backstreet feel… and it seems to extend further out, with all sorts of shops lined up… and in the back is a large dining area where you can buy your favorite items from the ticket vending machine and pick them up at the store . I was called right away and for some reason we were at a sign for a fried chicken restaurant. Here it is, T-chan chose Gunma’s representative demi-katsu spaghetti, and T-ya chose Omiya Napo katsu . We started right away. It was piping hot on the hot plate, and it was delicious! It was Napo denga! lol The cutlet was also delicious! T-chan attacks the demi-katsu spaghetti. It’s delicious, too. We can’t seem to get enough, so we order more and more. It feels like Onomichi ramen. There ‘s so much variety, there’s nothing we can’t eat. Cashless payment means no contact with anyone at the restaurant. The restaurant is cooking, and several people are busy cleaning the hall. At the snack bar “Yorimochi,” there’s a sign looking for hostesses. I’d be surprised if they really run a snack bar. I was excitedly looking around the restaurant, and then I got a bowl of Onomichi ramen. I doubt they’re some kind of scam about serving all the B-grade gourmet food in Japan, but it’s incredibly delicious. It’s a bit different compared to Onomichi’s famous restaurants, but I’d be happy to try it. QQ9, which is triple nine in Japanese? Great taste… lol . It’s Sean Connery. Not Connery. He’s strong on pork, but weak on women. Just one pork cutlet. This is the first in our fried food series, and the cast names are amazing! With our stomachs and laughs swelled, we headed to the hotel for check-in. We went to the Palace Hotel, just a short walk from the station. Palace Hotels have a lovely, laid-back vibe, as always! I booked my room using ANA miles, and was delighted to get a room tour on the 13th floor! It was a neat twin room. It had a generously sized closet, disposable slippers (and other slippers), shoe care products, a clean and easy-to-use sink, all the amenities you’d need, and a hairdryer. Plush bath towels and face towels, Stephen Knoll in-bath hair care products, a large bathtub , a kettle with complimentary mineral water, a refresher, various cutlery, tea and coffee, a generously sized refrigerator, and a laundry bag. I love T-ya’s medium-firm bed, the retro clock and switches, and the air conditioning, which worked well and was highly sensitive. And, as you’d expect from the top floor, we had a panoramic view of Sonic City right in front of us, offering a panoramic view of the Ikebukuro Station area. Despite the rain, the beer festival was in full swing on the ground floor. Now, off to the Railway Museum, shall we? Walking along Teppaku Street inside Omiya Station leads to the New Shuttle station . The Railway Museum is right next to Omiya Station. Ride the New Shuttle! Let’s go! It’s the next station, and it’s so close, we arrived in no time! It’s the Railway Museum Station. Right in front of the ticket gate is the Railway Museum ! They’re directing us… Are there really that many people? I was underestimating them… I thought only a few people were invited, but there was a huge line of people of all ages, including families with small children! Luckily, I arrived a little early just in case. I perused the handouts I was given while waiting. I was worried the restaurant usually closes in the evening, but they were open for this event. Phew! Looking at it again, it’s a huge facility! It stretches north to south, with four floors . The first floor features kids’ facilities, rides, and the main vehicle exhibit and hands-on experience corner . The second floor is, of course, a panoramic theater with a spectacular view overlooking the entire first-floor exhibit! There are simulators for each vehicle type!!! And a “Japanese Restaurant” restaurant. The third floor is the Railway History and Science Station. The fourth floor/RF has a panoramic deck and a view restaurant. There are plenty of interactive programs! T-ya is aiming for the D51 and E5 simulators. Plus, the programs that normally cost money are free this time! : The venue opened and applications for the experience program app began. Perhaps due to the overwhelming number of applications, the app kept restarting, and only part of the program was displayed, so I couldn’t find the one I was looking for… Even as I was going through the queue to enter , I kept tapping away… I couldn’t help but ask a member of staff for advice . Tya: The program isn’t showing up… “Well, it should be there.” “What, it’s not showing?” Maybe a girl with the same problem came to ask lol Tya: Only part of it is showing, right? The girl got mad and left lol “Please update and restart.” I kept updating it so much I was groaning… When it connected for a moment, all the future times were filled up… Ah, D51 and E5… I guess it was God’s will for me to concentrate on sightseeing today… I tried several times after that and it was the same, so I decided to follow God’s will and focus on sightseeing. The souvenir shop near the entrance had a lot of attractive items, so I thought I’d stop by on my way out, but there was a long line on the way back♪ I recommend doing your shopping when you enter . This may not be the case during normal business hours, but… There’s an elegant retro train in front of the souvenir shop! A royal engine, an imperial train! It was ordered from the beginning as an imperial train (a special train used by the Emperor, Empress, Emperor Emeritus, Empress Emerita, Grand Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager), and later on, the Imperial Train Car will also be introduced, so please check there for more details! Change of location, kids! Come play! But don’t climb, it’s dangerous! Maybe small children will have loads of fun here, enjoy the graffiti on the walls, touch the trains and then fall asleep comfortably lol. There’s also a cafe where both adults and children can enjoy delicious food, mainly burgers, but it’s like a well-designed mall lol. Mini Driving Park. Winners of today’s experience program are waiting their turn♪ At the entrance to the main area in the middle is the No. 1 Locomotive, a key player when the Shinbashi-Yokohama line opened. A D51 simulation! I wanted to do it! I ‘m being taught! I’m jealous! The Benkei is a steam locomotive that was used from the time Hokkaido’s first railway opened. It was imported from America in the early Meiji period and used . It certainly has a tough, American feel to it . The passenger car pulled by Benkei is the Hokkaido Development Commissioner, which was also imported from America when the Hokkaido Development Commission opened . This tough train imported from America for the Hokkaido Development Commission is a truly romantic Hokkaido experience. The 9850-type steam locomotive was imported from Germany for steep gradients and ran between Yamakita and Numazu on the Tokaido Main Line and the Shinetsu Main Line. This must be a must-see for anyone who loves mechanics. It generates, transmits, and stops energy. I understand that much. 👍 Next up is Manseibashi, Manseibashi, and the Nade 6110-type train. Rengoku Kyojuro looks like he’s eating a bento, but this is a side-riding train. Speaking of bento, “Teppaku” has three restaurants, various bento vendors , and several places where you can enjoy a meal in the train atmosphere. This is one of them. Let’s take a look at the atmosphere. Wow ! Side-riding, huh? It might be just right for a large group. Ekiben, you can’t find them at night…♪ Main. 。 In the middle of the vehicle exhibition hall is the C57 “Lady”, commonly known as “Shigo Nana”, which was apparently mainly used to pull passenger trains all over the country. In front of the C57 there was a pre-announcement for the Singing Brother Concert, a mini concert by Yokoyama Daisuke which will be taking place where the MC is currently located. Filming and recording of the concert is not allowed so we continued looking around and just enjoyed the sound♪ This is the Imperial Car. The carriage in which the Emperor and Empress ride is the Imperial Car. The entire train that operates, including the Imperial Car, is called the Imperial Train. This first model was made for Emperor Meiji, and although it is hard to see inside, it is made with the finest art and craftsmanship of the time. No. 8, the ladies’ room inside Empress Teimei’s carriage. As it was intended for the Empress, it was decorated with vivid colors and beautiful silk upholstery and was apparently a favorite of Empress Teimei herself. Here is a black and white image of the ladies’ room, but the throne room is truly luxurious! Imperial Car No. 12 was built during the reign of Emperor Showa as Crown Prince. It’s said that the decorations, such as lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlay, were abandoned for a simple Western style. Even so, the resting room and throne room are chic and impressive . A hero of the common people from the past! The Blue Train “Asakaze” was built in an era when radios were finally becoming commonplace in homes. It was said to have been called a running hotel thanks to its cutting-edge facilities, including air conditioning and fluorescent lighting. Na: Vehicle weight 27.5-32.5t Hanefu: Sleeping car (B-class sleeping car) Brake van 22: Fixed formation passenger car, 2-axle bogie bogie 1: Apparently, this is the serial number♪ C51, commonly known as “Shigoichi,” was developed in 1919 (Taisho 8) by the Railway Bureau, the predecessor of the Japanese National Railways. Some of these cars were even donated to mainland China! It’s full of romance… it looks like the waning demon “Enmu” is lurking… but no way lol. A step back to the modern era! This color was used on the Chuo Line. For some reason, T-chan seems to be enjoying herself lol. Here comes the 0-series Shinkansen! For my generation, this is the Shinkansen! Hikari! Kodama! Ah, so nostalgic! The book describes the history of the Shinkansen’s birth, and it’s so grand! It began in 1888, and in 1912, it ran between Shinbashi and Shimonoseki, connecting with the Korea-Manchuria Express and the Trans-Siberian Express! The sheer scale of its original purpose is astounding! I’ll take a ride with a nostalgic feeling . There are no frozen mandarins or plastic bottled tea, lol. This tiny table has a rotating lid . There’s a sliding ashtray next to the seat, foldable paper cups, and drinking water . The old Shonan Liner and Odoriko trains are actually used as lunch trains! Eating a bento box in this train would be so exciting! Today’s hero, “Shinkalion,” protects everyone from the Unknown! As a Gundam model fan, I’m also interested in this. lol. The station interior in front of Work Station feels so real. You can see the station attendant’s bed in the back, and the ticket machine is so realistic. lol. A real ticket dispenses without inserting money . T-chan thought she’d choose the Teppaku (a small ticket) ticket as a souvenir, but she chose the 220 yen one. Maybe she wants to go somewhere far away. Ticket in! I passed through the ticket gate without a hitch. The station attendant explained the bed to me. A machine beside me raised the mattress, and it seems to be more reliable than waking me up by sound. Thank you! A diorama was used to explain the duties of each position. Yes, a 3-car train will be passing through – a real railroad crossing. The railroad crossing barrier is about to come down. Please do not trespass . Don’t push it, don’t push it! Of course you’ll push it lol. I ‘m going up to the second floor with the E5 simulator! That’s the guy who wanted to try it…! It’s so realistic. I’d love to hear your impressions of the experience, but I held back. Driver’s experience class. That Japanese restaurant…! Since I wasn’t able to participate in the glamorous experience program of eating in the train’s dining car, today I spent time and money enjoying a delicious meal at a train-style restaurant lol. Wow, it looks like it! The atmosphere inside the train is perfect. There’s a lineup of delicious Western dishes. Apparently the best part is the Hayashi rice. This Wagamama set is also great. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting such a comprehensive menu, lol. It was a pleasant surprise. The drinks arrived. T-chan doesn’t drink alcohol, so we had iced coffee. T-ya had a glass of red wine and Sapporo Akaboshi beer . We’d walked around quite a bit and enjoyed ourselves, so we were a little thirsty . It was a super fun tour, cheers! The Akaboshi flavor permeated the air… T-chan ordered the Hayashi rice set. The fresh salad and the delicious, simmered sauce were a beautiful combination. The aroma hit me with every shake of the soup spoon, the scent was amazing , and the color was lovely. “Good morning!” That word, “delicious,” said T-ya. The Wagamama one-plate meal also arrived . We had omelet rice , potato oysters , crab cream croquette, and hamburger steak. T-ya’s favorite chubby one is coming. Nihon Shokudo is the best! Western food king! We added the Tokyo Station Red Brick Pound Cake. A firm cake with plenty of fresh cream. Winner! Everything was absolutely delicious! The dining car-style feel of the train was also great. Thank you for the meal! Once we finished eating, it was already time for the Night Museum to close. If we had participated in the experience program, it might have been difficult to eat. I will etch this wonderful view in my memory. The veteran warriors standing quietly… The final whistle signaling the closure was so sad and reluctant. Thank you to all the staff! Next time, we’ll be taking you on a gourmet tour of Little Edo Kawagoe, starting with the breakfast buffet at the Palace Hotel where we stayed this time ! Look forward to everything from long-established restaurants to Kawagoe soul food ! Teppaku was amazing! Thank you to VISA for inviting us! As this was a special event, there may be some differences from normal business hours, but we hope you find it useful! We’ve also uploaded some pictures of our cute sparrows on TikTok, so please check them out if you’d like. We ‘re grateful for your channel subscriptions and likes! Please subscribe to our channel! Thank you for watching!
