Another Akihabara landmark bites the dust. The JR Transportation Museum 交通博物館 will be closing down at the end of April but re-opening in Saitama (probably near the Omiya train yards) in October 2007. The new one will be called the Museum of Railway 鉄道博物館 and judging from the concepts it’s huge. Also, it looks like there will be an observation deck close to the Shinkansen track so you can watch the bullet train go by at top speed! I’m wetting my pants just thinking about it.
