Traveler reviews

Numaji Transportation Museum has such a fun variety that it never feels repetitive. I liked being able to see everything from trains and cars to planes and boats all in one place, and the Astram section was a nice surprise. It works well for kids, but there’s plenty here that would also keep anyone with an interest in transport entertained.

What a hidden gem! It’s super cheap and a great activity for a rainy day with the family in Hiroshima. It’s a bit dated but has soooo many models to look at. If you speak Japanese you could take hours reading everything.

My husband and I took our three kids aged 7, 9 and 11 to the Hiroshima City Transportation Museum yesterday. It was an absolute gem! The interactive exhibits were so engaging, especially the ones where we could get hands-on experience with old-fashioned rickshaws and historic buses. We even got to try out a recreated tramcar from the 1920s which the kids absolutely loved. The kids also enjoyed watching the old footage showing how transport used to be in Hiroshima. Our youngest's eyes widened when she saw her first train model! It's a great place for families and we'd definitely come back to explore more. We had a fantastic time there! Highly recommended! We left feeling super energized and inspired. The museum is well organised and has ample space for parking and amenities for kids. One minor drawback – some parts of the museum were quite crowded during peak hours. Still, we couldn't fault it! Overall, it's a must-visit spot in Hiro

Great first (or second) floor with lots of different cars and engines. It is however visible that the rest of the floors cater more to a younger audience.

Its okay. Large museum but few exhibits. On the plus side it is cheap and lots of space for kids to run around. However not many interactive exhibits for kids, lots of models behind glass. Kids did enjoy riding bicycles outside. Pay at the vending machine near the information desk. Guides in both japanese and english. If your in the area stop by, people are nice.
