Mikasa Railway Memorial Museum (Mikasa Railway Village, Horonai Zone)

The loud whistle of the train opened up the northern plains. The nostalgic, brave figure is now revived.

Mikasa Railway Village was opened in 1987 as the birthplace of Hokkaido Railway (the first railway in Hokkaido opened between Horonai and Otarutemiya in 1882) to preserve its historical heritage and culture. In addition, a genuine steam locomotive, the S-304, and a mini Shinkansen train run here, and various vehicles that were active in various parts of Hokkaido in the past are also on display.

The village's Railway Memorial Museum displays valuable materials from the Meiji period, timetables, uniforms, steam locomotive parts, and signals that were actually used during the Taisho and Showa periods, as well as a number of steam locomotive models such as the "D51" and "Benkei" that recreate the appearance of those times. On the second floor, you can also look back on the history of the Horonai Line and Hokkaido's railways through videos.
