Yokohama Tram Museum

The Yokohama Tram Museum preserves the memory of a beloved city streetcar system that ran for nearly seventy years, from 1904 to 1972. Set on the grounds of the former Takigashira rolling stock factory where the trams were once maintained, the museum lets visitors board seven original tram cars, explore Yokohama's transport history, and even take the controls of a working tram simulator. Affordable, stroller- and wheelchair-friendly, and compact enough to enjoy in under an hour, the museum offers a charming detour for families, railway enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how a port city grew around its public transit.
