Tokyo Metro Museum (Subway Museum)
地下鉄博物館
Kasai · near Kasai Station (Tokyo Metro Tozai Line) - directly beneath the elevated tracks
Compact, well-priced museum devoted to Tokyo's subway history, run by Tokyo Metro. Includes Japan's oldest subway car, full-size train cabs, subway driving simulators and a model-train diorama show.
Why children love it: Cheap, hands-on and rarely overwhelming: kids can operate subway simulators, sit in real driver seats and watch the model diorama. Good for a rainy morning.
Honest drawbacks: Small compared with the Omiya Railway Museum; limited English signage; simulators can have queues.
