The Railway Museum

Omiya would not really be on my list of places that I wanted to visit, except for the fact that it has a wonderful railway museum there.

Omiya is the major railway station in Saitama prefecture, hence the railway museum being located in this area.

It's easily accessible from Tokyo, and a must visit for train buffs.
