Nagahama Railway Square

Museums

長浜鉄道スクエア

Nagahama Railway Square is a compact railway museum complex beside Lake Biwa. Official pages present three linked facilities: the former Nagahama Station building, described as Japan’s oldest surviving station house, plus the Railway Culture Hall and the Hokuriku Line Electrification Memorial Hall. Together they let visitors see, touch, and learn railway history through exhibits, HO-gauge models, cab experiences, steam locomotive displays, and photo corners. Seasonal photo contests and special shows rotate through the calendar, so confirm opening guidance before you go.
