Temple 51: Ishiteji (Temples on the Pilgrimage)
Central Ehime (Chuyo)
Railway History Park in Saijo is Shikoku’s first full-scale railway museum. Explore the park and its fun and informative exhibits. Board a car from the original 0 Series Shinkansen (bullet train), which traveled between Tokyo and Osaka in 1964, and climb aboard a range of vintage locomotives, from a C57 Class steam locomotive built in 1938 to a DF50 diesel locomotive that operated in the mid-twentieth century. Watch scale model trains run through miniature dioramas of the local area, complete with scenes from daily life, from local festivals to children walking to school.
