The Hara Model Railway Museum in Yokohama exhibits the collection of Shintaro Hara, former executive director of Kokuyo and a world-renowned model train builder and collector. Standing by the escalator leading to the entrance, I saw a family happily walking by, probably visiting the Hara Model Railway Museum as well. I can understand the excitement of small children.
The centerpiece of the museum is “Ichiban Tetsumo Park,” one of the world's largest railroad dioramas. Even as an adult, the sight of the No. 1 gauge model trains running through the huge diorama with stations, mountains, and railroad crossings was so spectacular that it took my mind off my childhood love of trains. If I had seen such a huge diorama as a child, I would have lost my soul.
