Tsuyama Manabi Railway Museum

#springitinerary Up for something different this spring? the Tsuyama Manabi Railway Museum is a fun and surprisingly scenic spot to check out. It’s got major retro vibes, with a huge old train roundhouse full of diesel locomotives, including some rare ones you won’t see anywhere else. Even if you’re not a train nerd, it’s still super cool to walk around and take it all in. The best part? During spring, the area just outside the museum bursts into cherry blossom season. There’s a whole stretch of sakura trees lining the river, which makes for an awesome contrast with the old-school trains. You can wander through the museum, then chill out under the blossoms for a picnic or just snap some photos. It’s a great mix of history, nature, and mellow spring energy, perfect for a casual day trip with something a little different.
