The Saitama Railway Museum is one of the popular museums that attracted many visitors in Saitama, Japan. The museum was opened in 2007 in Saitama City by JR East (East Japan Railway Company).

The museum narrates the history of the railway system in Japan. It exhibits train cab simulators, railway model dioramas, mini trains, the train cars used back then, how trains are operated, and how railway technology flourished all throughout the year.

The museum is divided into two zones: history zone and learning zone where children and tourists can learn and experience about the elements and history of the development of the railways in Japan though actual parts and models exhibited and displayed in the museum.
